At this time, outside Nanyang City, the rebel general Sun Qing led the army to fight Yanyou.

Yan You looked at Sun Qing in front of the army and said, "A fierce general like you actually works for a rebel like Liu Xin. I don't even think it's worth it for you! You could have been the general of our big man! ”

"So what? Wang Mang entrusted the emperor with the name of the emperor, but he was actually a thief. ”

Sun Qing scolded angrily.

He thought to himself: I am a descendant of Sun Wu, how can I be Wang Mang's courtier?

"You're wrong. Although my father-in-law is not a member of the Han family. But the world was originally surnamed Ying. Han Gaozu also seized the world of the Qin Dynasty. ”

Yan You began to quibble.

In the distance, the armor of the Han army glistened in the scorching sun.

"Yan You, you are the thief. Although you are Wang Mang's Great Sima. However, you are just a lackey of a treacherous villain like Wang Mang. Sun Qing scolded.

"His Majesty the Emperor Regent promulgated a new policy to give land to the people. Now all the people of the world praise him. He severely punished the law and arrested those who had committed adultery in the clan. Why do you still call him a traitor? Is there still such a traitor in the world? Yan You began to excuse Wang Mang.

Wang Mang did this because it was for himself. Wang Mang has been an official since the time of Emperor Yuan. In the era of Emperor Cheng, Prime Minister Zhai Fangjin was forced to death. Emperor Wai killed his own son Wang Shu in the era of Emperor Wai and invited him to gain fame. In the era of Emperor Ping, he killed Emperor Ping's mother, Empress Dowager Wei, and hundreds of lives of the Wei family were lost. How can such a despicable villain be the emperor? Wouldn't this be a source of chaos for the government? ”

Sun Qing continued to scold.

Subsequently, Yan You dispatched a large army.

Sun Qing picked up his sword and slashed at the enemy, blood spraying onto his face. But he was still slashing and slashing his enemies. However, he himself was besieged by a large army.

"Sun Qing, surrender!"

"How can I surrender you. Yan You, I lost to you. I have only one death today to serve the Lord. Sun Qing immediately drew his sword and killed himself.

Yan You looked at his corpse and cried, "General Sun." Why do you do that? How can we men not have a place for you? His Majesty the Emperor, so sorry. How can they not forgive you? ”

When Liu Xin heard that Sun Qing was dead, he said to Zhai Yi, "What should I do? We're done with our elite troops now. Even if we don't surrender, we'll starve to death! ”

"You can't surrender! Your Majesty. Wang Mang will definitely kill us! ”

Liu Xin said sadly: "What should I do? How did I become an emperor in the first place? I really shouldn't be this emperor! ”

"What's the use of saying that now? If this continues, we will really die without a place to be buried! We will be killed by Wang Mang. Zhai Yi cried.

"There's no way around it now. If I surrender now, will I have no way to live? Liu Xin cried.

"So far, we have to kill Wang Mang. Only then can there be a way to live. Zhai Yi cried.

In the distance, the crows were "quacking and ......", and Liu Xin's heart was already extremely cold. He thought to himself: Am I going to die for our Han family?

Let's talk about Wang Mang's side.

At this time, he had already summoned Wang Shun in Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, now Sun Qing has been killed by Yan You. Zhai Yi's rebels were also defeated. Now if you send a large army to attack Nanyang, you will definitely be able to destroy Zhai Yi. Wang Shun said with a smile.

"You don't have to attack. We just surround but don't fight. Zhai Yi: They are also waiting for death. Haha......" Wang Mang said with a smile.

Liu Xin continued: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the rebels? ”

"It depends." Wang Mang said with a smile.

At this time, Liu Xin and Zhai Yi were already exhausted.

Liu Xin looked at the gange and axe on the ground, and said to Zhai Yi: "Yesterday, our army was defeated by Wang Mang's great Sima Yanyou. If this continues, Nanyang will fall. ”

At this time, Yan You and Wang Xun had a dispute in the military camp.

"Da Sima, do you really want to pardon the rebels? They are guilty of capital crimes according to the Han Law. Wang Xun said with a smile.

"How many people will die like this? These are the people! Yan You cried.

Yan You remembered what Wang Mang had said before:

"Liu Xin! In fact, the throne of the emperor is heavy! It's not a beautiful difference! It's a heavy responsibility! Wang Mang sighed.

"O Wang Jujun! You are actually the most suitable person to be the emperor today! Your prestige has long surpassed Your Majesty and the Han family! If the Han family didn't have you, I'm afraid it would have perished a long time ago! ”

Wang Mang continued to laugh and said, "I don't want to usurp the Han!" After all, Lone is Hanchen! It's really not good to usurp the Han! Lone is the heir of the Wang family, and he swore to be loyal to the Han family like his uncle! Otherwise, I am willing to die at the hands of the people! ”

"O Wang Jujun! Aren't you pedantic? This is foolishness! You know that the Han family is hopeless! Why be obsessed? Liu Xin said bitterly.

Just when Wang Mang and Liu Xin were still arguing, the doorman came in to report!

"Master, our Royal Highness the Queen has sent someone! The man said that the queen has a gift for you! ”

After listening to the doorman's words, Wang Mang thought: Could it be that there is another accident in the palace? Could it be that Your Majesty has beaten the queen again?

"What a gift? Lone still thinks that the queen mother is at ease in the Jiaofang Palace, and she has long forgotten about me, an old man? Let the messenger in! ”

Wang Mang's tone became gentle, he was afraid that the doorman would see his doubts.

Da Sima Yanyou thought: In fact, it is also helpless. The lord needs benevolence and righteousness!

He remembered the past:

"Actually! Lone has always felt that Wang Guang is more suitable to be Lone's heir than Wang Lin! Wang Lin has always been misbehaved! In fact, he is really not suitable to be a lonely heir! Wang Mang couldn't help but sigh. He thought to himself: Lone just wants to see what Wang Shun says!

Wang Shun thought to himself: What should I do? Wang Guang, like his father, was upright. Once such a person becomes the prince of Anhan, I will die! I can buy a manor with all the money I have embezzled in recent years! Wouldn't I have no place to die! It's so dangerous! It's horrible! What to do? I still need to let my eldest brother dispel this idea as soon as possible!

Wang Mang walked a few steps in the study and thought: Actually! It's not that Lone doesn't want to pass on the throne to Wang Guang! I'm just afraid that I will threaten Wang Lin! Wang Guang is upright and easy to be truthful. It is very likely that he will investigate the corruption case of our Wang family! Now our Wang family needs to recruit troops and expand their strength! At this juncture, if something happens. Our Wang family will be counterattacked by the Liu family!

Wang Mang wandered in the study at this time, unable to calm down for a long time.

Yan You said to himself: "There is no way. The lord had to usurp the throne. ”
