Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Deng Feng recruited troops from various counties in Nanyang, but as a result, he could not recruit new soldiers at all, which Deng Feng never expected.

You must know that it was very easy for Deng Feng to recruit troops in Nanyang in the past, and after the conscription order, there was an endless stream of young and strong people who came to defect, because of the limited money and food of their own side, many young and strong people who came to join were turned away.

But now, when he urgently needs to use troops, he can't even recruit a single person, which is really incredible.

This is the effect of Liu Xiu's salary draw. With the promulgation of preferential policies, it was necessary to suppress Deng Feng's resurgence and cut off Deng Feng's foundation in Nanyang.

Deng Feng couldn't recruit new soldiers in Yuyang, so he could only rely on the existing remnants to resist the Han army, but this bit of soldiers and horses, including a large number of wounded soldiers, how could he resist the menacing Han army?

When the Han army was about to approach the city, Deng Feng found Yan Guang and asked him to take Deng Zijun and leave Yuyang first. Yan Guang frowned and asked, "Yuan Zhi knows, how many soldiers and horses do you still have in your department now?" ”

Deng Feng smiled bitterly and said, "There are 30,000." ”

Yan Guang reminded: "But nearly 10,000 of them are wounded soldiers!" In other words, Deng Feng's combatable soldiers only have about 20,000 people. He asked again: "Yuan Zhi knows, how many soldiers and horses does the Han army have?" ”

Deng Feng thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be less than 200,000!" ”

Yan Guangchai asked: "With 20,000 against 200,000, Yuan Zhi thinks he can win?" ”

Speaking of which, I still have to persuade myself to surrender. Now as soon as he heard the word surrender, Deng Feng wanted to draw his sword and kill people. He waved his hand to Yan Guang and said, "Mr. Yan doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I, Deng Feng, will definitely not surrender to Liu Xiu!" ”

Yan Guang looked at the obsessed Deng Feng, who was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. He felt that Deng Feng had now fallen into a dead end, and his temper was still stubborn, and ten cows could not be pulled back.

He sighed meaningfully: "Yuanzhi is a county land, against a country!" ”

Why does Liu Xiu have a thick foundation? North of the Yellow River, it is basically under Liu Xiu's control now, and there are people who want money, money, and grain, so Liu Xiu can afford to lose and fail.

As for Deng Feng, there is only one Nanyang County in his hands, and now even Nanyang County is gradually out of his control and falls to Liu Xiu's side, what capital does he have to fight against Liu Xiu?

Deng Feng won't understand such a simple truth, but he just doesn't want to admit defeat.

As the saying goes, good horses don't eat back grass, since he created Liu Xiu's rebellion at the beginning, it is impossible for him to surrender to Liu Xiu now, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere, in order to prove that his original choice was not wrong.

Yan Guang couldn't persuade Deng Feng, and Deng Zijun also couldn't persuade Deng Feng, and finally under Deng Feng's repeated insistence, Yan Guang could only take Deng Zijun to leave Yuyang and return to Xinye.

On the way to Xinye, Deng Zijun frowned, and she asked: "Ziling, if the eldest brother insists on refusing to surrender to Liu Xiu, then in the end, the eldest brother will ......."

Yan Guang said: "As long as Yuan Zhiken surrenders, there will be a glimmer of life!" ”

"But the problem is, big brother refuses to surrender!" Deng Zijun said worriedly.

Yan Guang thought about it, smiled indifferently, and said, "Maybe I haven't been forced to do it!" If the 30,000 remnants under Yuan Zhi's command are also wiped out, Yuan Zhi can only surrender. ”

Deng Zijun blinked and nodded thoughtfully.

Now, she suddenly hopes that her eldest brother can be defeated as soon as possible and surrender to Liu Xiu as soon as possible, otherwise the longer the war drags on, the deeper the grievances between the two sides become, and the situation of the eldest brother will become more and more dangerous.

Not long after Yan Guang left Yuyang with Deng Zijun, the Han army led by Liu Xiu rushed to Yuyang.

More than 200,000 Han troops are approaching the city, if it were not for the east of Yuyang next to the water, the army of more than 200,000 would be enough to surround Yuyang.

The Han army did not immediately launch an attack on Yuyang, and now Liu Xiu did not have murderous intentions against Deng Feng.

First of all, Deng Feng is the patriarch of the Zhutiandu Division, and he is the first group of people to join the Zhutiandu Department after his eldest brother.

Secondly, don't look at the face of the Buddha and look at the face of the monk, Deng Feng is Deng Chen is nephew, and Deng Chen is Liu Xiu's brother-in-law, plus the second sister Liu Yuan and the three daughters all died in Xiaochang'anju, Liu Xiu has always been full of guilt for Deng Chen.

Third, when Yin Lihua was in Nanyang, she was taken care of and protected by Deng Feng, and even when Yin Lihua went to Luoyang, Deng Feng escorted her all the way.

Because of these aspects, Liu Xiu values Deng Feng very much, even if Deng Feng rebelled against him now, he didn't expect to put Deng Feng to death.

After the Han army set up camp outside Yuyang City, Liu Xiu deliberately took a group of relatives to leave the camp and go straight to Yuyang City.

When Liu Xiu and his party were about to reach a hundred steps from Yuyang City, an arrow flew down from the city and snapped to the ground, which was a warning with an arrow to warn Liu Xiu and the others not to continue to move forward.

Liu Xiu said to the generals of Wu Han: "You stay here!" ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and Wu Han hurriedly urged him to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's dangerous!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Zhiwen and Long Yuan can go with me." ”

He left all the generals of Wu and Han a hundred steps away from Yuyang City, and only took Fu Di and Long Yuan to ride slowly towards Yuyang City.

Seeing that only three people had entered within 100 steps of Yuyang City, the defenders at the head of the city did not shoot arrows to warn.

It wasn't until Liu Xiu and the others entered within fifty steps that an arrow flew down from the city again, and a soldier with a loud voice lay on the arrow stack, poked his head out, and asked loudly, "Who is coming?" What does it mean? ”

Liu Xiu took off the reins of the war horse, stopped the war horse, and raised his head to the soldiers on the city wall and said: "I am Liu Xiu, the son of the Han Dynasty, let Deng Feng come out and talk to me!" ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's name, the faces of the soldiers of Deng Fengjun at the head of the city changed the same, who would have thought that Liu Xiu would dare to approach within fifty steps of Yuyang City with only two entourage.

The soldiers of the defending army looked at each other, and the general who was the leader of them was the first to come back to his senses and said urgently: "Don't be stunned, go and report to the general!" ”

One of the soldiers agreed, and the wind ran down the city wall as fast as possible to report to Deng Feng. Hearing that the soldiers who came to report the news said that Liu Xiu only brought two entourages to the front of Yuyang City, and even entered within fifty steps, Deng Feng was also startled, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, Liu Xiu's courage was big enough, was he not afraid of going down by himself

Ordered to release arrows and shoot him outside the city?

Even if the two sides are now in a state of hostility, Deng Feng has to sigh at Liu Xiu's courage.

Without much delay, he rode to the northern city and ordered the guards guarding the gates to open the gates.

The generals around Deng Feng looked at each other and said, "General, now is a good opportunity to kill Liu Xiu!" "Yes, general, Liu Xiu has no one in his eyes, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and it is easy to kill him now!"

Listening to the gossip of the generals around him, Deng Feng turned his head and glanced around at them. His eyes were sharp, so that all the generals around him subconsciously closed their mouths, and lowered their heads one by one, not daring to say more.

He said in a deep voice: "To be a man, you should preach morality, if not, what is the difference between it and Wu thieves and others?" The generals were reprimanded by Deng Feng, and their faces were red, and they lowered their heads one by one. Deng Feng didn't pay attention to the crowd anymore, watching the city gate being opened little by little, the drawbridge gradually lowered, Deng Feng urged the horse out of the city gate, and when he arrived outside the city, he suddenly remembered something

He stopped his horses, turned back and followed the generals, and said, "Wait here, and no one will follow!" ”

Liu Xiu only took two followers and dared to come to Yuyang City, and he Deng Feng couldn't lose to Liu Xiu. Didn't Liu Xiu bring two entourages, he didn't bring any of them.

Deng Feng left all the generals under his command and went straight to Liu Xiu outside the city single-handedly. Less than fifty paces away, in an instant, Deng Feng came to Liu Xiu's front and stopped his horse.

Since Deng Feng's rebellion, it was the first time that Liu Xiu and Deng Feng had met face-to-face like this. Seeing that Deng Feng's face was a little haggard, Liu Xiu raised his head and asked, "Is Yuan Zhi okay?" ”

Deng Feng had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Why does Uncle Wen ask knowingly? Deng Feng directly called Liu Xiu's words, indicating that he no longer recognized him as the son of heaven.

Hearing his words, Fu Di and Long Yuan's faces changed at the same time. The latter angrily reprimanded: "Deng Feng, bold! ”

Deng Feng ignored Long Yuan, and just looked at Liu Xiu intently. Liu Xiu waved his hand at Long Yuan, signaling that he didn't need to be angry.

He looked at Shang Deng Feng's aggressive gaze and said, "Yuanzhi, you are now trapped in Yuyang, cornered, if you don't descend at this time, when will you wait?" ”

Deng Feng was about to speak, but Liu Xiu continued: "If Yuan Zhi is willing to lead his troops to surrender now, I will not blame the past grievances and grievances, what does Yuan Zhi think?" ”

"Haha!" After Deng Feng heard this, he suddenly laughed on his back, and after laughing for a while, he restrained his smile and said, "Uncle Wen is so tolerant and generous!" Is it possible for you to resurrect the dead? ”

Of course, Liu Xiu also knew the reason for Deng Feng's rebellion, and knew that it was because Deng Feng's favorite woman died in Wu Han's slaughter.

He took a deep breath and said, "Yuanzhi, people can't be resurrected after death, we could have sat down and talked about this matter." ”

"Talk?" Deng Feng smiled, laughed angrily, and said, "Uncle Wen said it so lightly! If someone killed Lihua, would Uncle Wen sit down with the murderer and talk slowly? ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, his face suddenly changed, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

Deng Feng said: "Uncle Wen wants me to lead my troops to surrender, yes, but I have two conditions. ”

Liu Xiuqiang suppressed his anger and said softly: "Yuanzhi, what are the conditions. ”

"First, send the culprit Wu Hanzhi's head!" Deng Feng looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Second, Uncle Wen named me the king of Nanyang!" ”

The two conditions he offered were tantamount to directly refusing Liu Xiu's personal surrender to him, because Liu Xiu couldn't accept any of these two conditions.

Wu Han, like Deng Yu, Jia Fu and others, is Liu Xiu's treasure, and is one of his most relied on ministers, and it is completely impossible for him to offer Wu Han's head here in Liu Xiu.

As for Feng Deng Feng as the king of Nanyang, it is even more impossible, the ancestral training left by Liu Bang cannot be the king unless the surname Liu is not. Liu Xiu inherited the rules of respecting the Han system and the Han law, and did not seal the king with a different surname, how could he, as the Son of Heaven, take the lead in destroying it? And as soon as this precedent is opened, it will be endless, Deng Feng was crowned king, so should Deng Yu also be crowned king? Cen Peng, Geng Yi, Jia Fu, Feng Yi, Zhu You, Kou Sui, Cho Qi and other ministers, which credit is not far above Deng Feng, that

Should they all be crowned kings?

As a result, not only the court will be in chaos, but the world will be in chaos. Such a move to shake the foundation, Liu Xiu categorically will not accept it. Seeing that Liu Xiu didn't say a word for a long time, Deng Feng straightened his chest and said loudly: "Uncle Wen, this is my condition!" As long as Uncle Wen accepts these two conditions, I can immediately lead my troops to surrender and continue to respect Uncle Wen as the Son of Heaven, if Uncle Wen can't accept it

, then, there is nothing more to say between us, we can only divide the superiority and the inferiority on the battlefield, and divide the life and death! ”

The mud bodhisattva still has three points of earth, not to mention Liu Xiu, who is the son of heaven.

Liu Xiu has a soft temperament, but he is by no means weak and easy to bully, and Deng Feng's aggressiveness at this time made Liu Xiu angry in his heart. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "Yuan Zhi thinks, am I begging you to respect me as the son of heaven?" ”

Deng Feng raised his eyebrows and did not answer.

Liu Xiu said word by word: "The thieves in the world, I don't know how many, they don't respect me, the son of heaven, but I will fight until they respect me!" You, Deng Feng, are not the first, and naturally you will not be the last. After saying this, Liu Xiu glanced at Deng Feng again, didn't say anything more, turned the horse's head, and returned to the formation.
