Li Zhong is eight feet tall, with strange bones, and is only thirty-one or twelve years old.

His face is like a jade crown, riding a white horse, his plain clothes are clear, and his body is fluttering.

At a glance, you will know that he is a man who reads poetry and books, and is talented, virtuous, and resourceful.

As soon as he arrived in the field, the army behind him was immediately silent, the drums were all extinguished, and a murderous aura rushed out.

He is the same as Wang Mang, like the anchor of the sea in the army, and the soldiers respect him like a god.

It seems that in the world, there is no big thing that he can't do.

If he leads his army into battle, he will be invincible and invincible. If he governs the world, he will definitely have peace and security in the country and the people, and the wind and rain will be smooth.

Wang Mang saw Li Zhong's words, and sneered in his heart.

Then he took a closer look and secretly pondered, "Looking at this guy's momentum, he is indeed a capable person, and he really deserves to be the reincarnation of the twenty-eight stars in the storyteller's mouth." ”

After thinking for a while, Wang Mang saw that Li Zhong had never led troops and came alone, and immediately smiled slyly and said to himself: "Good man, you are a reckless man, you dare to come to see me alone." Presumably, when you came, you must have thought that I was secretly deceitful, so you did not mobilize a large army to suppress the territory. Just to prevent our army from ambushing, this time I will definitely make you suffer a big loss. ”

"I beg the thief according to the will of the people, what is nameless?"

Wang Mang straightened his face, pointed at Li Zhong with a horsewhip, and said in a fierce voice: "As a pillar of the Han Dynasty, my Wang family inherits the position of Taiwei, governs the world for His Majesty, and guards the border passes. I myself have been under the auspices of His Majesty, the official lieutenant of the Colonel.

The world is so big that it is not the imperial land. The coast of Kyushu is the territory of the Han Dynasty. This time, I came to Yingchuan in person, and I saw that the people were suffering from the war, and the people were struggling to survive. It is to kill the ministers on behalf of the king, clear the traitorous ways, and regulate the norm. This is a great merit, a great benevolence and righteousness, you dare to say that I am nameless?

You are the prefect of Wanzhou, and you should be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, support the community, and treat the people well. But now you have privately raised troops, attacked Yuzhou, and crossed the eight cities, causing wars and harming the people. Your rebellion is well known.

I now advise you that if you withdraw quickly and reflect on your transgressions, I will surely play the Son of Heaven and alleviate your sins. Otherwise, Your Majesty will be angry, and you will all be beheaded! ”

Li Zhong's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "Good you yellow-mouthed child, you dare to speak out!" Wang Mang, today our two armies are intersecting and meeting each other in short arms, so you don't have to prevaricate with that set of unseemly rhetoric.

Your Wang family's official residence is too lieutenant, but you don't respect Your Majesty's orders, and privately stationed troops in Yuzhou and Xuzhou, trying to seal the heavens and claim the emperor, who else in the world doesn't know about this matter? What's more, you are now emptying Yingchuan and beguiling tens of thousands of people in Yingchuan to travel thousands of miles to Yuzhou, how can this move not dig up the foundation of His Majesty and cut off the luck of the Han Dynasty?

The number of days has changed, and the artifact is easier, which is the principle of heaven and earth. Since Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng, there have been Wei family controlling the dynasty, the Huo family is rampant, the Wang family colludes with foreigners, and the Sun family squanders the people's hearts. Outside, Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi invaded the Central Plains.

The society is like a dangerous egg, and hundreds of millions of people are in urgent need of upside down.

Although I live in the land of Sangyu and do not care about the major affairs of the world, I cannot see the people suffering from the flames of war. Then he specially pulled himself up and threw himself into the red dust, unveiled the uprising, and wanted to unify the land of Zhuzhou, calm the troubled times of the princes of Kyushu, and restore the peace of the people. Since you are a descendant of the Wang family and have hundreds of thousands of troops, you should lead the army to overcome the barbarians and guard the border passes, why did you raise troops to disturb the land of Zhuzhou? ”

"Hahaha.... Hahaha...."

Wang Mang went crazy and looked up to the sky and laughed, "I thought that you were full of poetry and books, only eight buckets high, and five cars of learning, and now in the face of the soldiers of the two armies, you must have a high opinion." Unexpectedly, you said such vulgar words, which is insulting. I have a word, and you can listen to it.

Since Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng, my Wang family has seen that the Han Dynasty is weak, and the rebellious ministers are rampant, and they have repeatedly played the Son of Heaven, reduced the taxes of the people, and recuperated in the people.

If you know my name, know my business. My father and my eldest brother were in high positions at that time, and they were officially awarded the post of Grand Sima General. However, they disregarded their own safety, threw themselves into the battlefield, guarded the border passes, fought against the Xiongnu, and bloodied Beidi. In the end, due to mental exhaustion, the horse leather shroud died on the battlefield.

These contributions are comparable to Han Xin and Zhang Liang in the past, and comparable to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the future, which is really a model of loyalty to the country. I've heard of you all my life. You live in Wancheng, Zhuzhou, inherit the title of your ancestor Mengyin, and you should inherit your loyalty, Kuangjun to help the country, serve the community, and rejuvenate the people.

However, you raised troops to provoke the eight cities of Yuzhou, harmed the people, plotted to usurp the throne, and violated the ancestral teachings. It is a great sin to make the ancestors dusty, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it.

I follow the will of the people, calm the war, and raise the army to fight the thieves. Since you are a rebel and thief who is unkind, unrighteous, disloyal, and unfilial, you can only sneak away and flee for food and clothing. Dare to bark in front of the officers and soldiers of our army and talk about the number of days? Ignorant puppeteer, renegade thief, you are about to fall under the Nine Springs and die at the hands of our soldiers.

At that time, what face will you have to face your Li family's ancestors and ancestors, and what faces will you have to meet my Han Gaozu Han Wu?

The jade cup drank the blood of thousands of families, the red candle burned the people's anointment, and your thousands of crimes are difficult to list. If you still have a point of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, you should retreat quickly and go to His Majesty Chang'an to confess your guilt. Otherwise, I will destroy your whole house and copy your nine tribes. ”

"Poof..."

When Li Zhong heard this, his chest filled with anger, he screamed, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

Wang Mang occupies the righteousness, before his father and brother sacrificed their lives for the country and died on the battlefield, and then he distributed money to support the people.

Now that he said this, Li Zhong was speechless when he was refuted, his body was shaky, and his military spirit was also quite affected.

Behind Wang Mang, Chen Chong saw that Wang Mang was speaking loudly and clearly, and muttered secretly: "Lord Wang is really good at speaking, I am not an enemy!" ”

Li Zhong heard Wang Mang's reprimand, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are sophistry, but you are eloquent, but you are really speaking falsely, which is ridiculous. What kind of ability do you have to dare to destroy my whole door and copy my nine clans? Today, I will take you down, hang your head at the east gate, and see what your royal family can do with me. ”

Wang Mang tightened the reins of the war horse and laughed: "After all, you are a chaotic minister and thief, and you are speechless. ”

General Han De saw that Li Zhong had suffered a big loss, and he was furious, "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to be arrogant? When the words landed, he waved the double iron halberd in his hand, and rode his horse towards Wang Mang to kill him.

Seeing this, Yuan Qing and Xiang Wei hurriedly blocked in front of Wang Mang, waved their knives against the double iron halberd in Han De's hand, and shouted: "Okay, you puppet, dare to be rude to my young master?" I will not let you rest. ”

At that moment, the three of them fought in front of the battle, and it was not fierce.

Chen Chong saw that the enemy's morale was declining, and his own morale was high, so he waved his sword and shouted: "An inch of mountains and rivers will give you ten thousand blood." Defeat the rebels and raise the prestige of our army. Kill me...."

Zhang Gen, Li Sheng, Gao Ming, He Jin and others have already prepared for the whole army to kill. Now when he heard Chen Chong's order, he hurriedly led his troops and horses to attack on all fronts.

Suddenly, thousands of soldiers and horses hidden in the rear all rushed out, killing Li Zhong's army as if they were not killed, and the scene instantly became a mess.

Wang Mang saw that the army was coming from behind, and hurriedly picked up his horse and fled backwards. But they did not dare to risk their lives, and they did not dare to be in the center of the battle between the two armies, so as not to be unexpected.

When Li Zhong saw this situation, his face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly rode his horse and fled in the direction of his camp, not daring to risk his life.

He shouted and scolded as he ran: "Wang Mang'er, you are so shameless, you dare to use such a trick. ”

"Hahaha, old thief Li Zhong, this battle is my act of crusading against the thieves on behalf of Your Majesty, not a confrontation between the two armies. At this moment, you only have 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed here, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are still dozens of miles away. Now I see how you can still defeat our army. Wang Mang said proudly.
