In the banquet hall of the Liu family's mansion in Tanghe City, Nanyang County, Zhuzhou, the two brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu were eating and drinking with Wuyazi.

Liu Jiu kept toasting Wuyazi, pushing a dry of the best dishes to Wuyazi, beckoning Wuyazi to eat and drink more, with a sincere tone and a respectful attitude. Liu Xiu talked with Wu Yazi about the laws of governing the country and rejuvenating the country and rejuvenating the people. He put all the knowledge he learned in his chest into full display and showed his world-class talent.

Wu Yazi stroked his beard and smiled, appreciating non-stop. The wine in the cup is also one cup after another, drinking very happily and chatting very happily.

Wu Yazi asked Liu Xiu: "Now there is a big chaos today, and the people are not happy. In your opinion, how long will it take for this situation to calm down? What do you think of the current state of the world? ”

Liu Xiu replied: "Senior, according to my humble opinion, although the current situation in the world is extremely tense and there are constant disputes, I think it will only take three to five years to completely calm down, and it will definitely not exceed five years." ”

"Oh? How can you see that? Wu Yazi asked again.

Liu Xiu said: "The current era is the time when the old and the new are changing. Although those powerful families are still prosperous, they have all developed to the top and cannot go any further. As the saying goes, prosperity must decline, and the current turmoil is the beginning of their decline. When they are completely decayed, there will be a new powerful family to rule the world in their place.

The Ji family is strong and strong, and its strength is shocking. Now they are fighting on multiple fronts and sweeping in all directions. Although the strength of many old and powerful families is still strong, they have not turned the tide of the situation in command. After a long time, these powerful families will surely be defeated. Of course, although many powerful families will lose, they will still lose most of the strength of the Ji family.

There was a saint in the world named Wang Mang. In the past two years, Wang Mang led the army to sit in Gansu, but he asked about the world's major events. I think he is accumulating strength and planning a way to unify the world and wipe out the heroes.

After a period of time, when his power has developed to the extreme, and then he raises his arms with the prestige of a saint, and the people of the world will definitely respond. In this way, who in the world can stop it? Even the Ji family will be suppressed by him. After all, he has the title of a saint, and there is no bottleneck in development. Therefore, the younger generation thinks that the world can stabilize in three or five years at most, and this is precisely because of Wang Mang.

If it weren't for Wang Mang, it would have been decades before this turmoil ended. Because although the Ji family is strong, they are unpopular, and the same is true of other old families. If you want to truly win the world, you must first win the hearts and minds of the people. If Wang Mang is excluded, it will take a long time for others to successfully win the hearts and minds of the people. ”

Wu Yazi asked again: "I have also heard of Wang Mang's affairs in Gansu, but although this person is leading the army in Gansu, he doesn't seem to be accumulating strength, nor does he have any action to train soldiers. Instead, let the whole army lay down its armor and weapons, and work with the people to reclaim wasteland and stock up on grain. His move doesn't seem like he's trying to unify the world. ”

"Well..."Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "His intentions, the younger generations are really confused, and they don't know what his purpose is." It stands to reason that he now wants military merit, prestige, and strength. If he gets mixed in now, who can match him?

And the younger generation heard that he hoarded not only grain, but also turf and roots. There are a lot of fish and shrimp in the river, and almost all the rivers and fields in Gansu have been swept away. There is a momentum of hoarding everything that can be eaten, which completely wastes the daily training of the soldiers. ”

Wu Yazi said: "Although there is a sage Wang Mang looking at one side now, he may not be 100% sure of calming the world. And those veteran magnates and the Ji family are all wolf ambitions, and they don't care about the lives of the people in the world. Both of you brothers have a lot of skills, don't you have the heart to serve the country? Didn't have the idea of eradicating them? ”

While speaking, Wu Yazi took out the bead flower given by Yin Lihua and put it in the palm of his hand to play with it, revealing a look of sadness and longing.

"This is, Lihua's jewelry?"

As soon as Liu Xiu saw the bead flower in Wu Yazi's hand, he immediately recognized it: "Senior, this is ....."

Wu Yazi glanced at Liu Xiu and said lightly; 'This is the stuff of Yin Lihua, a poor student, how do you know? ”

Liu Xiu replied: "When I went to see Lihua at Yin's house that night, I saw that she seemed to be wearing this string of beaded flowers. It's just that I don't know how this thing is in the hands of my predecessors now? ”

"I see." Wu Yazi explained: "This time, Poor Dao came out of the Yin family and planned to travel all over the world, Lihua was afraid that Poor Dao would miss her, so she gave Poor Dao this string of beaded flowers. Poor and childless, although Lihua is a member of the Yin family, she is also like my grandchildren. This girl is smart and clever, with excellent roots, and is one of Poor Dao's favorite students.

It's just that she is a little too sentimental, and often hides her face and tears alone, saying that she can't see the people of the world suffering. and said that he hated himself as a daughter, and could not stand up for the welfare of the people. Hey, this girl's heart is really impressive. Poor Dao has been traveling for many days, and even misses her past. ”

As he spoke, he put away the beads, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Poor Dao lost his mind for a while." ”

"Whew...."

Liu Xiu's eyes were fixed on the beaded flowers, and there were many thoughts in her chest, and she couldn't wait to fly to Yin Lihua's side to see her immediately, so as to relieve her lovesickness.

He thought for a long time, and then almost gritted his teeth and said: "Lihua really deserves to be a heroine among women, and the younger generation admires and admires it very much." The old-timers, to be honest, the younger generations also hate those powerful families very much, and they can't wait to exterminate them all and restore the order of the Han Dynasty, and the younger generations do have some arrangements.

About half a month ago, the younger generation began to plot the land of the Jingzhou border area. The younger generation expected that the Ji family was attacking the Huo family, and the Huo family definitely did not have the energy to fully control everything in Jingzhou. Therefore, the younger generation plans to fish in troubled waters and seize several cities in Jingzhou to gain a foothold. Then come and try to plot the world according to the specific situation.

It's just that the foundation of the younger generation is very poor, and it is not an overnight achievement to successfully complete this major event. But no matter how difficult it is, the younger generation has to do everything in its power to complete it. Otherwise, how would my generation be worthy to be called a great husband? ”

"Oh? Do you have such arrangements and ideas? Wu Yazi smiled secretly, admiring Wang Mang's intelligence in his heart, he was able to anticipate things like a god, and guessed Liu Xiu's arrangement without any difference.

"If you have this thought, it can be seen that you are loyal and courageous and want to serve the country. In the early years, Poor Dao also arranged some chess pieces in Enshi County and Shiyan County in Jingzhou, in order to help those younger generations who were knowledgeable and capable.

Now that you have this heart and such an arrangement, then you have to help you a little. This is a thank you two brothers for your hospitality. ”
