Let's say that Liu Zhi followed the tricks left by Wang Mang that day, and achieved a great result in Dingxi Pass, after annihilating tens of thousands of enemy troops. Liu Zhi asked people to hurry up and rush to the imperial capital to deliver the good news.

When Liu Xin received the good news, he immediately convened a court meeting to announce the good news and give amnesty to the world.

After Huo Jianghai, Wei Gonghan, Wang Xiannian, Feng Yi and many other family leaders learned the specific situation, they were all at ease. Praise Wang Mang for really using soldiers like a god. It only took a month or two to make the Huns suffer a big loss and kill tens of thousands of enemies.

At this point, all of them were basically full of confidence, thinking that the matter of the Xiongnu was no longer to worry about, and Wang Mang had enough ability to achieve the final victory.

At the same time, they all followed Liu Zhi's advice one by one and cooperated with Liu Xin to spread the good news all over Kyushu. At the same time, efforts were intensified, troops were dispatched to reinforce Dingxi Pass.

Although they had discussed the number of troops to be sent before, they had scruples after all, fearing heavy losses, and the troops, grain, grass and salaries were not all issued according to the agreed amount, and some were retained, for fear of accidents.

Now they are not afraid, and they all want to defeat the Huns as soon as possible.

All of a sudden, the mighty army and baggage drove non-stop to the frontier. The people of Kyushu were also full of confidence, congratulated each other, and swept away the previous panicked situation.

Huo Jianghai and the others already had a grand plan in their hearts, and passed on one order after another, so that they could prepare for a decisive battle in Kyushu and begin to prepare for the enthronement and claim the emperor.

This major event, they have been brewing for a long time, and they are gearing up, secretly waiting for Wang Mang to strike the final blow and completely defeat the Huns.

While they were waiting, they suddenly received a shocking piece of information. The appearance of this information made their hearts tremble again.

This information is not his business, but the war in Liaoning.

In this information of theirs, there are cases of Wang Yuanhai being seriously injured and dying, and there are also territories that originally belonged to Wang Mang's jurisdiction are being lost inch by inch and occupied by the barbarian king.

When they heard the news, they were in an uproar, very shocked, and angry that someone dared to attack Liaoning at this time, disturbing Wang Mang's mind.

They were very worried that Wang Mang would give up the extermination of the Xiongnu because of this incident, and led his troops to Liaoning to preside over the overall situation.

In their opinion, if Wang Mang really did this, then the frontier defense line would definitely be completely defeated, and his plan to ascend the throne and claim the emperor would be postponed indefinitely, or even hopelessly.

None of them were sure that they could face the Xiongnu alone, fearing that after the Xiongnu broke through the defense line, they would annex their own territory.

All of a sudden, suspicions abounded, and they were all secretly investigating. I want to know which fanatic it is, who dares to violate the internal armistice agreement of that day and stir up disputes without authorization.

Faced with this situation, Wang Xiannian was the first to sit still, and urgently sent troops to reinforce Liaoning to help Wang Mang stabilize the overall situation in Liaoning.

Huo Jianghai and Wei Gonghan were not willing to be lonely, and while exploring the specific reasons, they were also transferring troops and horses to reinforce Liaoning.

And so, time flies.

When they probed for nearly ten or twenty days, they found nothing, and they didn't know which force was targeting Wang Mang.

They only knew that this force was extremely strong and had many masters, and the soldiers and horses they sent still couldn't block the opponent's attack, and they didn't recapture the invaded territories that originally belonged to Wang Mang.

On this day, Wang Xian read the post and made an appointment with Huo Jianghai and Wei Gonghan to discuss major matters.

"Master Huo, Master Wei, Liaoning, you have to give me an explanation." Wang Xiannian said coldly: "According to my investigation, the people who attacked Liaoning were not the forces of the Xiongnu at all, nor the forces of the Southern Barbarians. Among the many forces in the entire Kyushu at the moment, who else has this energy besides the two of you? ”

Wang Xiannian suspected that the two of them were obstructing it, and launched a strong question.

Huo Jianghai's face was gloomy and very dissatisfied.

"Master Wang, don't spew blood. Liaoning, I also want to know who is responsible. I can tell you responsibly that we didn't do this. And where do we dare to do it to Wang Mang at this time? Unless I want to see my family destroyed in the future, it's pretty much the same. ”

"Not you? Who else? I have investigated carefully, and Feng Yi and Li Zhong in Zhuzhou did not make a move. ”

"Who knows." Huo Jianghai said coldly: "This matter is very strange, the hidden forces in the dark are very profound, there are countless masters, and the troops are extremely strong. If we had this energy, would we have been able to immortalize your ascension to the throne and claim the throne before? ”

"Wang Xiannian, you don't need to say much about this. For the current major heroes in Kyushu, the Huo family master and I are the most unwilling to see this kind of thing happen. ”

Wei Gong said coldly: "Now I have sent reinforcements to Liaoning's 30,000 troops, which have been lost by more than half, and Liaoning's territory has lost a county again. I think it's better for you to go and talk to Feng Yi, and let them send people to reinforce Liaoning as well. Thinking about it, they didn't want to see Wang Mang give up his plan to exterminate the Xiongnu because of this. ”

"They? Hmph, a bunch of bastards who eat inside and out. Wang Xiannian said: "I told Feng Yi about this three days ago, and he vetoed it, and said that it was already very good that he did not take the opportunity to annex Liaoning. Master Huo, the masters of the Murong family who helped you were following Wang Mang, did they have any news to pass on? ”

Huo Jianghai shook his head and said, "They didn't have any news, it seems that Wang Mang deliberately didn't let them contact me." Master Wang, I have found that in recent days, it is not only Liaoning that has some problems. There is also some turmoil on my side of Jingzhou, and those city lords, prefects, and assassins are ready to move, trying to overthrow my Huo family's rule over Jingzhou.

At the same time, I also found that Yizhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Wei family, and Xuzhou, which is under your jurisdiction, do not seem to be very peaceful. In this situation, it seems that they have all connected and started a rebellion together. At the moment, I don't have any extra troops to continue to reinforce Liaoning, so I have to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou first. ”

"Well, that's how I put it." Wei Gonghan's brows shook, and he was very worried.

"Seven or eight days ago, I specially asked the masters of the Ouyang family who helped me to rush to Yizhou to preside over the overall situation and quell the rebellion. But I reckon it will take some time. Until I have calmed down the situation in Yizhou, I will not be able to divide more troops. Therefore, Liaoning, you can watch it.

All in all, I just have one word, if I have extra strength, I will help Liaoning. And I can assure you that I will not do anything against Wang Mang until he has achieved significant results and has not completely defeated the Xiongnu army. You can rest assured of this. ”

Wang Xiannian asked: "According to what you say, what should we do in Liaoning?" Could it be that you can still watch the states and counties belonging to Wang Mang be taken away by others one by one? You must know that although Liaoning belongs to Wang Mang at the moment, in a sense, that place actually belongs to us, and you don't want to send people under the fence and become a courtier of the Huns, right? ”
