Chapter 249: Crisis is coming
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Xi Cheying, who was in the capital, did not receive the letter sent by Liu Xiu, not that the messenger did not deliver, but that the delivery process was too slow, even if the messenger traveled day and night, from Jianyang to Chang'an, it would take several days.
On this day, Sima Dongzhong and General Wei Wang Shi came to the National Teacher's Mansion to have secret discussions with Liu Xin.
Xi Cheying, who was originally with Liu Xin, wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Liu Xin.
In Liu Xin's mind, Xi Cheying is not only his confidante, but also his woman, and there is no need to deliberately avoid her about some confidential matters.
Seeing that Liu Xin left Xi Cheying and asked her to make tea for them, Dong Zhong and Wang Shi looked at each other and smiled, and the former said: "National Master, you owe me a favor as a matchmaker!" ”
Liu Xin looked up and smiled, waved his hand and said, "Brother Dong's favor, the old man naturally remembers it in his heart. ”
After a few words of laughter, Dong Zhong cut to the chase, and he said meaningfully: "National Master, I'm afraid the proverbs in "Red Fu" are about to come true!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Xin's body shook suddenly, looked at Dong Cheng in surprise, and asked, "Brother Dong, what do you mean by this?" ”
Dong Zhong and Wang Shi glanced at each other, lowered their voices, and said, "The National Master may not know yet, as early as a few days ago, His Majesty had issued a secret order to transfer 100,000 troops out of Beijing. ”
Liu Xin gasped and said in surprise: "Transfer 100,000 troops to leave Beijing!" He turned his head to look at Wang She, and asked, "Does General Wei know about this?" Where was the 100,000 army transferred? ”
Wang Shi nodded and said, "Your Majesty secretly dispatched 100,000 troops to Wuguan. Originally, I thought that His Majesty put 100,000 troops in Wuguan in order to contain Gongsun Shu in Shu, but now it seems that His Majesty's intention is not Gongsun Shu. ”
"That's?"
"Nanyang!"
Hearing the word Nanyang, Xi Cheying, who was making tea, trembled slightly, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, but none of the three people who were talking in secret noticed her subtle abnormality.
Liu Xin's eyes rolled, and he suddenly showed excitement on his face, and said, "Your Majesty is planning to attack Nanyang's Zhutiandu subordinates?" ”
Dong Zhong and Wang Shi nodded in unison.
The 100,000 Beijing Division Army secretly entered Nanyang, and with the current strength of the Zhutiandu Division, how could it be the opponent of the 100,000 Beijing Division? Liu Xiu, a big henchman, no longer has to eradicate it by himself, Wang Mang has already helped him solve it.
Looking at Liu Xin with a smile on his face, Dong Zhong and Wang Shi glanced at each other again, their bodies leaned towards Liu Xin, leaned close to him, and whispered: "National Master, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!" ”
Liu Xin was still immersed in the joy that Liu Xiu was going to die with the Zhutian Capital, and he didn't think much about it, but asked casually: "What opportunity?" ”
"Kill Wang Mang, and the opportunity for the national teacher to be the emperor!" Dong Zhong and Wang Shi said in unison.
Dong Zhong and Wang Shi are also people who have studied the prophecy, and they are also convinced of the proverbs in the "Red Fu Fu".
In the eyes of the two of them, Liu Xiu mentioned in "Red Fu Fu" is Liu Xiu, the national teacher, and it is impossible for him to be an outsider.
It is precisely because the two of them believe in the proverbs recorded in "Chifu Fu" that they take Liu Xin as the leader, and the three of them have been plotting how to get rid of Wang Mang and put Liu Xin on the supreme throne.
Some time ago, Wang Mang secretly transferred troops to Wuguan, Wang Shi and Dong Zhong didn't know what Wang Mang meant, and they didn't dare to act rashly, after all, Wuguan was not far from the capital, and if there was a slight disturbance in the capital, the 100,000 army could be killed back as soon as possible.
Now Wang Mang has ordered the 100,000 Beijing division army to be handed over to the command of Nanyang Taishou Zhen Fu and Duwei Liang Qiuci, and the two of them have secretly transferred the 100,000 army into Nanyang. Liu Xin frowned, was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "In the past few days, the old man has watched the sky at night, and the moon meets the five stars and the twenty-eight nights, which is the eclipse of the stars and the moon. The moon is bright, and the starlight is moving, but it is restrained, and in the end it is the eclipse of the moon,
It's still a lunar eclipse, and now the old man can't see clearly, so this matter can't be rushed for the time being! ”
The astrological terms he said may not be understood by others, but Dong Zhong and Wang Shi can understand it. If the starlight moves, the world is chaotic, and the starlight is sharp, which is the appearance of the king, and the starlight is introverted, which means that the monarch is temporarily worry-free.
When the moon moves within the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras and the stars cover the moonlight, this is the eclipse of the moon, and conversely, the moonlight covers the starlight, which is the eclipse of the moon, and for the monarch, the former is a great omen, while the latter is a good omen.
According to Liu Xin, now that the stars and the moon have just met, no one can tell whether it will be a star eclipse or a lunar eclipse that will happen, and it is not the best time to assassinate Wang Mang and support Liu Xin to ascend the throne.
Dong Zhong and Wang Shi glanced at each other, their brows followed, and they both lowered their heads. Liu Xin smiled and said, "Sima and General Wei don't worry, since Xingyue has met, then who can overpower whom in the end will soon be known." ”
Wang Shi sighed lightly and said, "National Master, I just think it's a pity to miss this opportunity right now. ”
Liu Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "If you want to achieve great things, don't be in a hurry!" What's more, in the capital, Yan You is still here, don't take it lightly! ”
Yan You is the big Sima, Dong Zhong's top boss, and the key is that Yan You is in charge of tens of thousands of forbidden troops.
If they want to assassinate Wang Mang, they must either bring Yan You over first, or they must get rid of Yan You first. Only by removing the last obstacle of the Forbidden Army will their actions be successful.
Dong Zhong and Wang Shi shook their heads helplessly, since Liu Xin said so, it was difficult for them to persuade them again.
Helping Liu Xin, Wang She, and Dong Zhong make tea, Xi Cheying found an excuse to retire.
After leaving the study, she immediately returned to the courtyard where she lived, called a personal maid, handed her a secret letter, and asked her to leave the house immediately and send it to Yanchun Pavilion.
This personal maid was brought over by her from Yanchun Pavilion, and she didn't need to explain too much, the maid naturally knew what to do.
The secret letter was successfully sent to Yanchun Pavilion, and Xi Cheying did not dare to delay under Yanchun Pavilion, so he immediately arranged manpower to send the secret letter to Nanyang, reminding Liu Xiu to pay attention to the 100,000 Beijing division troops who secretly entered Nanyang.
It's a pity that this secret letter has not been delivered to Liu Xiu's hands, but on the way, the main force of the Zhutian Capital under the command of Liu Xiu, as well as many family members, left Jianyang and marched towards Wancheng.
This time, the scale of the Zhutiandu Division's dispatch can be described as unprecedented.
So far, the strength of the Zhutian Capital has expanded to nearly 20,000 people, and counting the families and dependents of the army, there must be 30,000 people in total.
In this attack on Wancheng, Liu Xuan brought all the people he could bring with him, that is, to fight a final decisive battle with Nanyang County Government.
Liu Xuan had already made up his mind to break the cauldron and sink the ship, and this battle could only succeed, not fail.
The team of 30,000 people was unprecedented, and it stretched out for more than ten miles.
As far as the eye can see, the flags are unfurled, the embroidered ribbons are fluttering, and the military appearance is not neat, but everyone's face is full of excitement, and they are all high-spirited and energetic.
Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, it doesn't look like they are going to Wancheng to fight a decisive battle with the county government, but more like they are going to take over Wancheng directly. It is not to blame that the soldiers of the Zhu Tiandu Department generally have the heart of underestimating the enemy, since the incident of the Zhu Tiandu Department, every battle has been smooth, and in the end it ended with a complete victory for their own side, in the eyes of people, the battle of Wancheng will not be
It became an accident. Moreover, the Nanyang County Army is not terrible, on the east bank of the river, it was killed by its own side more than 2,000 people, only a few hundred people of the cavalry army, but the county army of thousands of people was so frightened that they did not dare to cross the water, it can be seen that the county army is only in vain
The combat power is not much stronger than the county soldiers in various places.
Liu Xiu was naturally also in the team.
Due to his injuries, Liu Xiu did not ride a horse, and rode in the same carriage with Liu Boji and Xu Xiling. As soon as Liu Xiu entered the carriage, he fell asleep in a daze before he left Thorn Yang City.
In the midst of a jolt in the carriage, he woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and asked, "Where are we now?" ”
Xu Xiling whispered: "Lord, we have just come out of Thorn Yang less than ten miles, Lord An's rest!" ”
"Oh." Liu Xiu responded and closed her eyes. After a while, he raised his eyes again and said, "Xiling, look for Zizhang and the second situation!" ”
"Yes! Lord! Xu Xiling looked at Liu Xiu, who was not looking good, worriedly, but still according to his wishes, he asked the maid Xiaoju to invite Ma Wu and Cho Qi to come.
After a short time, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the carriage, and then, the voices of Ma Wu and Choshi resounded outside the carriage: "Lord! Subordinates see! ”
Liu Xiu sat up with Liu Boji's support, he lifted the curtain of the car window, and said to the two outside: "Zizhang, the second situation, you two send more cavalry brothers to the front to investigate, once you find the enemy's situation, report immediately!" ”
Ma Wu and Cho Qi glanced at each other, and muttered secretly in their hearts, is the lord sick and confused, he has a special scout to investigate the enemy, where can he use his own cavalry?
Liu Xiu seemed to see through what the two of them were thinking, and said with a slight frown: "This battle is important and dangerous, and I can't rest assured of our scouts." ”
Ma Wu and Choshi both intervened on the horse and responded, "Yes! Lord! We'll send our elite brothers to the front to investigate! ”
"Hmm." Liu Xiu nodded, and then added: "Our two wings should also be explored together." ”
"My subordinates understand!" Ma Wu and Choshi took the order and left.
When the two of them left, Liu Boji helped Liu Xiu to lie down slowly, she looked at Liu Xiu worriedly, and whispered: "Third brother, do you think this battle will be difficult to fight, and we will be in danger?" Liu Xiu didn't want to worry about the little sister, a smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "If we win this battle, we can take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Nanyang County, and in the future, with Nanyang as the foundation, it is enough to fight against the reckless thieves, this battle is so important, we should be cautious."
Some are. "Oh!" Liu Boji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she said in a brisk tone: "Third brother, don't worry, I heard that the remaining strength of the county army is less than 6,000 people, and our army has 20,000 people, three times the enemy!" It is said in the book of war that three times as much as the enemy,
It has the advantage of annihilating the enemy army! ”
Liu Xiule and said, "My little sister is also reading the military book now!" ”
Liu Boji nodded solemnly and said, "I can't always let the eldest brother and the third brother protect me, I also have to help you share the burden!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he only laughed twice and coughed violently.
Liu Boji stroked her chest and patted her back, and when Liu Xiu finally stopped coughing, she glanced at Liu Xiu angrily and asked, "What is the third brother laughing at?" Liu Xiu sighed: "What I laugh at is that my little sister has grown up and knows how to help my brothers share the burden." ”
