Chapter 145: The Greatest Threat
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Deng Yu, Yan Guang, Li Tong and others walked up to Liu Xiu and sat on the ground on his left and right. Li Tong lowered his head and whispered, "Lord, we still have one hundred and thirty-six people now. ”
Seeing Li Tong's embarrassed look, Liu Xiu smiled at him and said softly: "It's already very good!" These more than 100 brothers have all withstood the test, and in the future, they are also trustworthy. ”
There can be more than 100 people left, which is better than Liu Xiu expected. Of course, these people don't have much to do with Li Yi, they themselves are the servants of the Li family, the guardian and the doorman, and they are loyal to Li Shou and Li Tong's father and son.
Li Yi said with an ugly face: "In the future, it's best not to let me meet those guys who escaped, otherwise I will never spare them!" ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "I'm afraid, there won't be such an opportunity in the future." ”
Li Yi was taken aback and looked at Liu Xiu in surprise. Liu Xiu said: "With Zhen Fu's character, he will not let them go, even if they regret it and turn against the water, Zhen Fu will still execute them all." ”
Zhen Fu's behavior and means of doing things, Liu Xiu has been taught, and he knows Zhen Fu well. In fact, it was really a prophecy by Liu Xiu, and few of those who escaped survived in the end.
Deng Yu changed his words and said: "We have to go back to Chungling, and I am afraid that it will not be smooth on the way." ”
Zhu You continued: "We have to go through Nanjuju and Jianyang before we can reach Xinye. ”
Liu Xiu said quietly: "If the county government knows that we have escaped from Wancheng, how do you think the county government will respond?" ”
Yan Guang answered: "I think the county government will send two lines of soldiers and horses, one of which will chase and kill our department, and the other will gather when they rush to the south, and wait for the battle to block our department." "Nan is located in the south of Wancheng, fifty miles away from Wancheng. Nanjuju is not a city, a village or town, but the name of a water. Nan Juju is a large area washed out by the Tang River, the White River, and the thorny water, the land is fertile, and it is favored by the people, and gradually, more and more people are migrating to
It was a place where farming was carried out, and it became a gathering place for the common people.
Liu Xiu looked at Yan Guang and asked, "Ziling, then how do you think we can safely withdraw to Chungling?" ”
Yan Guang Zhengse said: "Taking the official road to the south, it is difficult for us to get rid of the pursuit of the county army, and it is also difficult to successfully pass through the south to gather, so we either go around to the east or to the west." Circumventing to the west, there are more waters on the path, which is not conducive to our march, but it is even more unfavorable for the pursuit of the county army. ”
Liu Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and then he looked around at the others and asked, "What about everyone's opinions?" ”
Deng Yu said: "I think Ziling's idea is feasible, we can detour to the west to avoid the pursuit and interception of the county army." ”
Zhu You, Gai Yan, Li Tong, and Li Yi also had no opinions, and nodded in agreement. Liu Xiu stroked his palms and said, "Okay, that's it, let's go around to the west." ”
After deciding on the next route, Liu Xiu and the others did not delay much and turned to the west.
The escape route of Liu Xiu and the others was really beyond the expectations of the county government.
The chasing soldiers sent by the county government were exactly the same as Yan Guang's expectations, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one way to chase and kill on the official road, and all the way to the south to gather and intercept, but the two roads were all empty, and they didn't even see the shadow of Liu Xiu and his party.
The officers and soldiers who reported the news returned to the county government like a marquee, and Zhen Fu, who heard the news, was furious and asked sharply: "Could it be that Li Tong and Li Yi can still grow wings and fly?" ”
A staff member approached Zhen Fu, bowed down, and said in a low voice: "It is reported that Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and others rebelled with Li Tong and Li Yi this time!" My lord, since Liu Xiu and Deng Yu participated, Liu Xiu of Chung Ling must also have something to do with this matter. ”
Zhen Fu's eyes flashed, he slowly clenched his fists, squinted his eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu!" He turned his head to look at Commander Liang Qiuci and asked, "Lord Liang, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
Liang Qiuci smiled indifferently and said, "Simple! I personally led a group of soldiers and horses to Chungling, captured the two brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, and handed them over to Lord Zhen, so that they can be judged clearly! ”
Zhen Fu stared at Liang Qiuci and didn't speak for a long time. He was considering whether he should give this credit to Liang Qiuci.
Just as Zhen Fu was secretly pondering, an officer and soldier hurriedly ran in from outside, he bowed to Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci, and then said urgently: "My lord, the holy decree has arrived!" ”
Hearing this, Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci stood up in unison, the two glanced at each other, hurriedly walked out of the lobby, went to the courtyard outside, raised their eyes, and saw Taizhong Doctor Fei Xing holding the holy decree in his hand and walking in from outside.
Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Fei Xing came to Nanyang this time, and what he brought was not one holy decree, but two.
The holy decree on the bright side is to count the crimes committed by the Li family, and order the Nanyang County Government to behead them all over the house, and there must be no mistakes. And the second decree brought by Fei Xing was a secret edict.
The content of the secret edict was that Liang Qiuci led the main force of the Nanyang County Army to Luyang, the northern part of Nanyang County, and stationed there.
In the study, after looking at this Wang Mang's secret edict, Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci were both at a loss, full of inexplicability, now that Li Tong and Li Yi of Wancheng have rebelled, and the Liu brothers of Chungling are likely to have also rebelled, they will not encircle and suppress the rebellion, what will they do in Luyang in the north?
Zhen Fu cleared his throat and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Fei, Your Majesty...... Is this secret edict of Your Majesty written in error? ”
Fei Xing's old face sank, and his eyes looked at Zhen Fu coldly. Fei Xing is a typical iron-faced selfless, his six relatives do not recognize it, no matter which minister makes a mistake, as long as he knows it, he will definitely impeach him in the court.
Li Shou's popularity in the capital is good, but at the critical moment, the most fatal blow to Li Shou is this Fei Xing.
Zhen Fu knew Fei Xing's personality very well, and when Fei Xing's eyes swept towards him, his body trembled, and he bowed down and said: "Lord Fei, Li Tong and Li Yi have already rebelled in Wancheng, and this matter is likely to involve Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu's brothers in Chungling......"
Before he could finish speaking, Fei Xing interrupted: "How many anti-thieves are there?" ”
"Uh...... Back to the adults, Li Tong and Li Yi have more than 100 subordinates, and Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu have subordinates, two or three hundred people. Zhen Fu replied cautiously.
In front of Fei Xing, he didn't dare to lie. Li Tong and Li Yi did run away with more than 100 people, and Liu Xuan's subordinates in Chungling 'lost' a lot when they pacified the Green Forest Army, and now there are only about 200 people.
Fei Xing glanced at Zhen Fu, sneered and said, "So, your anti-thieves in Nanyang are less than five hundred people!" ”
Zhen Fu swallowed his saliva, bowed down and said, "Yes, Lord Fei." ”
"Does Lord Zhen know how many thieves there are in the north?"
"This ...... I don't know! ”
"The red eyebrows in the north have nearly 100,000 people!"
Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci's faces changed at the same time. The latter hurriedly said: "Didn't Taishi and General Lian already command an army of 100,000 to exterminate the Red Eyebrows and thieves?" ”
Fei Xing looked at Zhen Fu, then at Liang Qiuci, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said, "Defeated!" ”
"Huh?" Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci looked at Fei Xing dumbfounded.
Fei Xing said word by word: "General Lian was killed in battle, Taishi was wounded, and the 100,000 army was almost killed and wounded. ”
Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci opened their mouths in disbelief, and asked in unison, "Lian ...... General Lian died in battle? ”
That's Lian Dan, a generation of famous generals, battle-hardened, brave and good at fighting, he actually died in the hands of the Red Eyebrow Army? Not to mention that Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci are hard to believe, Fei Xing and even Wang Mang and the entire imperial court are hard to believe this ending, the 100,000 Beijing division army led by Wang Kuang and Lian Dan did not fight the Red Mei Army with only tens of thousands of people, and finally Lian Dan died in battle, Wang Kuang was wounded and fled, and the 100,000 army was almost wiped out
, how exactly this battle was fought, no one can figure out. In short, after the battle, the Red Eyebrow Army became famous, and in a very short period of time, the strength of the army expanded to nearly 100,000 people, and the power has spread to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou
The most important of all. Looking at the two who were stunned and couldn't come back for a long time, Fei Xing smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and said, "Otherwise, why do you think Your Majesty wants to hoard the Nanyang County Army in Luyang?" is worried that the red-eyed thieves will take advantage of the victory to advance westward, attack Luoyang, and take Chang'an, and the main army of the imperial court is currently in the northwest
Xinjiang, it will take time to transfer back, so Your Majesty can only gather the troops of various states, counties and counties now to contain the Red Mei Army! ”
I see! Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci really didn't expect that the war in the north had become so severe that even the capital was directly threatened by the Red Eyebrow Army.
Here in Nanyang County, there is no power of the Red Eyebrow Army, some are only the Green Forest Army, and it is not a climate, in front of the county army, the Green Forest Army is often vulnerable and defeated with one blow.
Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci didn't take the anti-army in their eyes at all, but they just felt that the appearance of the anti-army in the place under their jurisdiction would affect their political performance and thus their career.
"The capital is in danger, Lord Liang, act according to Your Majesty's secret edict! As for the rebels in your Nanyang County, they are just a rabble, and there is nothing to worry about. Fei Xing, who is in the capital, the most direct threat he can feel is the Red Eyebrow Army, for him, there is no greater threat than the Red Eyebrow Army in the whole world, the top priority is to gather all the troops, block the westward advance of the Red Eyebrow Army, keep the capital, and wait until the main force of the border is Beijing
The division returned to the dynasty, regrouped, and annihilated the Red Mei Army in one fell swoop.
What Fei Xing didn't expect was that the secret edict he brought bought a rare time for Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu's uprising in Chungling.
If Liang Qiuci and the main force of the Nanyang County Army had not been transferred, it was really hard to say whether Liu Jiu and Liu Xiu's uprising would have succeeded!
History has no ifs.
Because of Li Shou, the East Window Incident caused Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu could only be forced to rise up in a hurry, but their uprising was just in time for the Red Mei Army's successive battles in the north.
The huge threat of the Red Eyebrow Army to the Xinmang Imperial Court has created enough living space for Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu to rise up. It can be said that Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu are very lucky, but there are many lucky people in the world, but there are very few successful people, because those who can grasp the luck are often prepared people.
