Liu Yan is Liu Xiu's eldest brother, the two brothers are descendants of the royal family, since the death of their father, they have fallen into the middle of the family, and they have been living in the countryside, the two brothers depend on each other, and have deep feelings, compared with the younger brother who is as gentle as jade, Liu Yan has a heroic and aggressive personality, likes to make friends, and often compares himself to Liu Bang, and compares Liu Xiu to Liu Xi.

The two brothers rebelled in Chungling, and Liu Yan, as the leader of the rebel army, was wise and brave, open-minded, and quite a famous general.

If Liu Yan hadn't been killed in his previous life, maybe the entire history of China would have been rewritten by him.

The curtain opened, and the whole tent was lit up by candles. There is a huge map on the case in the account, Ma Wu, Wang Ba, Zhao Xi, Fu Jun, Zang Gong and others will be around one after another, Liu Yan is sitting in front of the case, Li Yi is standing on one side of Liu Yan, and Deng Chen is standing on the other side.

"Commander, Shuda is here." After entering the tent, Fu Jun said in a loud voice.

Liu Yan raised his head that was staring at the map, and when he saw Liu Xiu coming, he immediately walked over and patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder: "Good boy, our hero is here, there are you, 13 people ran out, everyone wants to kill you, and after sleeping for so long, were you scared by the pursuers when you broke through?" "There is no doubt that Liu Yan is the person with the strongest aura here, and he speaks with a momentum.

People who have been marching for many years must have an open-minded mentality, and most of the generals present broke out of Kunyang City with Liu Xiu, and they couldn't help but laugh when they heard such a joke.

Liu Xiu glanced at the people present, Ma Wu, Zhao Xi, Fu Jun, Ren Guang, Zang Gong and other generals were all the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in their previous lives, who had just broken through from Kunyang with themselves, and Li Yi later took refuge in the Green Forest Army, which was the murderer who killed the eldest brother. Now it is estimated that he has been in cahoots with the Green Forest Army, and at this time in his previous life, no one knew about it.

Liu Xiu also smiled bitterly: "Actually, I miss everyone too." These words really came from the bottom of her heart, and seeing these familiar faces again, Liu Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion in her heart.

Liu: "I'm fine, I don't know what the current battle situation is. ”

Ma Wudao: "Having a general like Shuda who cares about the world is a blessing for our army." The person who spoke didn't look angry and arrogant, sonorous and powerful, it was the veteran Ma Wu, and Ma Wu was still General Liu Xuanbi at this time.

Liu Xiu said: "General Ma is high, thanks to your courage and abnormality in the breakthrough, you can fight your way out of the encirclement." ”

Just after the love of living and dying together, Ma Wu and Liu Xiu had a very good relationship at this time, and laughed: "Hahaha, I still want to kill a few more people." ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "The generals of our rebel army are all heroes among the people, who are you afraid of, come, take you to see the current situation." As he spoke, he led Liu Xiu to the side of the case.

It is a detailed map detailing the surrounding terrain and the number and location of detected enemy forces.

Liu Yan pointed to a long blue line that stretched from Rushui to Kunyang City: "This is the direction of Wangyi's attack, here is Junshui, here is Kunshui。。。。。。 ”

After some introduction, it was to the effect that Wang Yi Wang Xun claimed to have a million real troops of about 420,000, camped with his back to Kunshui, and completely surrounded Kunyang City, Kunyang was besieged for a long time, and most of the people were on the verge of surrender.

But Liu Xiu was paying attention to something else, and he noticed a fact on the map that shocked him.

On the west side of the map, the word "Qin" in a Lishu actually occupies the entire northwest of the map. In this era, to the left of Wang Mang's new dynasty, there is also a country called "Qin"! This is inconsistent with the experience of his previous life, you must know that in the last history, during the period of Wang Mang's rebellion, the Western Han Dynasty had unified China, including after he eliminated Wang Mang, he was faced with rebel armies such as Green Forest, Red Eyebrows, Bronze Horses, and no other dynasties on his side.

And this Qin, could it be that Qin?

"Wang Yi Wang Xun's army is not a rabble, it is said that they personally selected a lot of people who are proficient in the art of war of sixty-three schools to appoint generals, and also specially raised wolves, elephants, tigers and rhinos and other fierce beasts, led by a giant called Ju Buba, mixed in the army." After introducing the situation, Liu Yan stopped.

"I just counted it, and the supply of food and grass for our army is estimated to be smooth, and it can support about half a month." Zhao Xi is responsible for the logistics supply of grain and grass.

"I want to sacrifice the flag with the king's head now." Ma Wudao, he is a fierce general, and the scar on his face is a testimony of honor.

"Although the enemy army is numerous, but we are waiting for work and morale is high, but fighting with an army mixed with wild beasts is an unprecedented experience for our rebel army, and we should consider some means of dealing with it." The king is domineering. Pertinent advice, good at analyzing psychology.

The generals said a word to me, and the atmosphere was warm.

At this time, a voice interrupted the discussion: "Listen to me first. ”

The speaker was none other than Li Yi, one of the earliest rebels, a traitor, and one of the murderers of his eldest brother, Liu Xiu said mentally.

Seeing Li Yi emphasizing it so much, all the generals in the arena quieted down, wanting to see what Li Yi, who was usually taciturn, had in mind. I saw Li Yi say: "The new army has just been established, I think we should ask the first emperor for advice, with the help of their strength, quickly engage the thief army, can increase the chance of victory." Give them a dismount and boost their morale. ”

Deng Chen said: "There is some truth in what you said. However, we and the Green Forest Army are actually working separately, and in the current situation, I am afraid that everyone has the heart to fight for hegemony. "He is a veteran of the second Liu Jubing, and he is very dissatisfied with the situation in Nanyang today.

Li Yi said: "It is precisely because of our meager strength that we have to rely on the strength of the Green Forest Army, Liu Xuan also wants to save Kunyang, and for Zhu Kun, he also has troops trapped in Kunyang, and the current situation, instead of suspicion, it is better to trust each other." ”

Liu Yan said again: "I'm afraid that this is our wishful thinking, then it will be troublesome." ”

Li Yi said: "The Han treats me well, if it is to save the entire Han, I am willing to persuade Zhu Kun and others to let them support." ”

Deng Chen said: "Even if you win, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, what to do next?" ”

Li Yi said: "The art of war is cloudy: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if we don't unite the other two armies and go their separate ways, we are afraid that we will die faster." ”

Liu Yan pondered for a while, unable to make up his mind. He and Liu Xiu and Deng Chen raised troops from Lingling, and at the beginning they were repeatedly defeated, and they have only developed with the help of the Green Forest Army, but the headquarters has been fighting from the Green Forest Army for a long time, and what Deng Chen said is not unreasonable.

And his concerns are very correct, in the normal historical line, Liu Yan was killed by Liu Xuan in the end, and the promoter was Li Yi.

It's not that Liu Yan doesn't realize it, he just doesn't want to believe it.

This guy is probably defective now, Liu Xiu sneered.

He deliberately said these words to cause Liu Yanjun and the Green Forest Army to join forces and send troops together, in fact, it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and then the Green Forest Army would definitely have other actions, and after weakening Wang Mang's power, he was looking for an opportunity to eliminate Liu Yan, wasn't this the case in his previous life. At this time, he probably had accepted the temptation of Liu Xuan and Zhu Kun's high-ranking officials. Now that he knows the direction of history, Liu Xiu has absolutely full confidence in dealing with Li Yi. Then it's better to use him in reverse.

This time, he wants to change the ending of this tragic story.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Liu Yan glanced at Liu Xiu with deep meaning. In an inquiring tone, he said, "What does my brother think?" ”

Liu Xiu understands that at this time, Li Yi has not yet exposed the clues of rebellion, if he is exposed now, it will disturb the morale of the Han army, and in his previous life, because he found out too late to prevent his eldest brother from going to the "Hongmen Banquet", this time he must seize the opportunity, let him and Liu Xuan show their minions, and skillfully punish him.

The thought flashed like lightning, and Liu Xiu already had an idea in his heart.

So he said unhurriedly: "I think it's okay, it's better to follow General Li's plan." ”
