Liu Xiu drank the bean porridge, rested for a while, and continued to ride his horse and fled wildly, escaping to the outside of Raoyang City, Zhuo County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This escape is more than 180 kilometers. Now the people are already hungry and tired, and they don't have the strength to run anymore. At this time, everyone thinks most of: eat a good meal, sleep well...

But everyone was like a group of vicious wolves drooling with hungry saliva, looking at Raoyang City, they just didn't dare to go in. Raoyang is already the junction of the two states of Youxi and Hebei. In the vast northern land, Wang Lang, a copycat version of the emperor, is like hard currency, and people recognize him instead of Liu Xiu. But Liu Xiu muttered outside the city for a long time, and still made a risky decision, "We can't run anymore, let's eat in the city first"

Liu Xiu's method was to pretend to be an envoy sent by Handan to go into the city to do business. Sure enough, as soon as the city heard that it was sent by the Son of Heaven of Handan, he immediately opened the city gate. Liu Xiu and his entourage swaggered into the city and came to the government guest house. The guests were treated with a lot of wine and meat, and the generals who had already fainted from hunger suddenly rolled up their sleeves and ate violently. The meal was so decently eaten that some people even quarreled over the food... This quarrel almost broke the big thing!

The officials of the Raoyang government guest house thought that the people in front of them really did not look like messengers from Handan, but like defeated troops fleeing for their lives. You should find a way to test it.

Death came to Liu Xiu again like the devil! When everyone was eating happily, suddenly the drums outside were loud, and someone shouted "General Handan has arrived" and everyone heard it and shouted badly. Liu Xiu reacted the fastest, jumped into the carriage at once, and prepared to escape. But he suddenly found a fatal problem - even if he runs, can he run out of Raoyang City?

So what to do? Liu Xiu instantly settled down: No, you can't run around! Even if it's pretending, it's going to be like a little bit! So, he straightened up his messy clothes, took the crowd with him, and walked back to the guest house. Then, Liu Xiu said, "Since General Handan is here, let's please meet inside."

Coming out to mix, psychological quality is very important. The commotion in the lobby outside was actually trying to scare Liu Xiu and his gang. I didn't expect Liu Xiu to be fooled over! At this time, everyone also found out that it was a false alarm. But they didn't dare to snatch food indiscriminately, and of course they had no intention of resting. After a little rectification, he left Raoyang City.

It was a difficult escape journey. There was heavy snow in the sky. Liu Xiu and his entourage braved the frost and snow, galloping day and night. I don't know how long I ran and came to Xiaquyang County, Julu County. Liu Xiuzheng is wondering if he should go into the city and cheat on another meal? Soon, however, he dismissed the idea.

There was information coming: Wang Lang's pursuers were biting behind their butts, and if they didn't escape, they would die. So Liu Xiu had to give up the idea of going to the city to eat the overlord's meal and continue to flee for his life.

At this time, the scout horses sent out came back to report a bad news: there were no boats on the Hutuo River in front, only broken ice, and the men and horses could not pass at all!

There is no way forward, and there are chasing soldiers behind, is Liu Xiu going to die here? Liu Xiu, who was desperate, pretended to be very calm and called Wang Ba over and said, "You go to the front to see if you can cross the river."

Many people who followed Liu Xiu in the early years have almost run out at this time. Liu Xiu saw that Wang Ba hadn't run away, and once gave him a sentence, "Everyone who comes from me is gone, and the son is left alone." Step up your game! Wind Knows Grass"

The wind knows the strength of the grass. Wang Ba silently recited the words of his idol Liu Xiu in his heart countless times, as if there was a force empowering from the sky and piercing his feet. What kind of power is this? Its name is faith. It is not enough to have courage to come out and make a revolution, but we must add conviction. Faith is like a compass, no matter how far you go, you won't lose your way...

Wang Ba rode his horse to the Hutuo River. He saw that the surface of the river was just as the horses had reported, the cold riverbed was full of broken ice, and there were no boats on the river, and if you wanted to cross the river, you had to cross it unless you had two wings on it! Looking at all this, Wang Ba couldn't help but gasp in his heart. God, is my lord Liu Xiu really going to die?

Wang Ba looked at the river and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, as if to wake up his frozen mind. He suddenly remembered the scene when Liu Xiu falsely claimed that the Handan envoy was cheating on food and drink in Raoyang City. Life and death are coming, so to repay the truth, everyone knows that there is no way forward, and they may disperse in a hurry. Why don't we play a fool too?

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Ba seemed to have an enlightened head, and immediately rode his horse back. He returned to the team and told Liu Xiu that "the Hutuo River is frozen, the riverbed is very strong, and it is absolutely no problem for people and horses to cross the river"

Liu Xiu smiled, patted Wang Ba on the shoulder and said, "What Tanma did was false information, what you got was real information" Liu Xiu led the team to continue to hurry. When they came to the Hutuo River, even Wang Ba himself could not believe it: as he fooled, the Hutuo River really formed a hard riverbed, and the carriages and horses could cross the river smoothly. What the hell is going on?

Liu Xiuji is a celestial person, and the sky is immortal! Under the command of Wang Ba, the team successfully crossed the Hutuo River. And as soon as we crossed the river, the ice began to melt again...

The group continued to flee south, and when they came to Nangong County, Xindu County, a violent storm wet everyone's clothes. Liu Xiu had no choice but to take shelter from the rain in an empty house on the side of the road. Feng Yi and Deng Yu made two firemen, one holding a salary, cooking rice in the pot; Burn the fire and dry the clothes on the stove. Liu Xiu took off his robe and dried it slowly. The wheat rice was also cooked, so Feng Yi served a bowl and served it to Liu Xiu.

After a short rest, everyone continued to flee for their lives, and on this day they came to the west of Xiabo County, Xindu County. At this time, Liu Xiu suddenly stopped moving. It's not that he can't run, but the road ahead is vast, and he really doesn't know where to go? The heavens and the earth are so big, there is no place to hide, what kind of world is this? At this time, Liu Xiu's entourage was also at a loss. At this time, who else can point out a bright road for everyone?

There is no endless road, and a miracle will appear at this time! There is often such a routine in martial arts novels: when the protagonist is knocked off the cliff, suddenly a white shadow appears in the sky, and an old man with white hair flutters his palm to send the protagonist who is about to fall into the abyss back to the top of the mountain. When the protagonist slowly opened his eyes, the old man was like a fairy, and a white shadow floated away...

Liu Xiu also met such a profound old man! The old man, dressed in white, stood by the side of the road, as if he had been waiting for a long time. At this time, I saw the old man in white saying to Liu Xiu, "Don't be depressed, don't despair, hope is ahead" Everyone was inexplicable, and they all looked at the old man in front of them in surprise.

The old man in white pointed to the south and said slowly: "80 miles to the south is the county of Xindu." Taishou Ren Guang is still someone from Liu Xuan's side, you should hurry up and vote for him" After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

It's definitely not a dream! Liu Xiu was overjoyed, as if she had caught a life-saving grass in the vast sea. So, he led the people to run in the direction of Sinto County...

Ren Guang, a native of Wanxian County, Nanyang County, has always been loyal and loved by the township. Served as a minor official in the county. The rebel army once passed through Wanxian County, and when they saw Ren Guang dressed brightly, they were particularly eye-catching, so they decided to pull him out and cut him down!

Han Xin was almost killed when he was in Hanzhong, but was rescued by Xiahou Ying, who happened to be passing by. The scene of Ren Guang being rescued is like the legend of Han Xin back then. At the critical moment, Guangluxun Liu Ci passed by, and saw that Ren Guang looked kind, not like a rotten boy, so he immediately rescued him. Later, Ren Guang followed Liu Ci. Then he fought with Liu Xiu in Kunyang. After Liu Xuan set the capital of Luoyang, he sent Ren Guang to be the letter of the capital Taishou. When Wang Lang was arrogant, and the counties of Jizhou surrendered one after another, Ren Guang did not surrender, and beheaded the messenger sent by Wang Lang to persuade him to surrender! Subsequently, he urgently recruited 4,000 elite soldiers with the commander Li Zhong and the county commander Wan Xiu to prepare to defend the city. The question is to keep it? Ren Guang himself was not sure.

At this time, Liu Xiu's arrival injected new strength into Ren Guang.

To be precise, Liu Xiu caught not one life-saving straw, but two. In addition to Ren Guang, Hecheng County (Wang Mang was separated from Julu County) was too guarded by Pi Tong and did not listen to Wang Lang's orders.

Pi Tong was appointed by Wang Mang and became a county pawn. Liu Xiu crossed the Yellow River in the north, and Pi Tong opened the city to welcome the surrender. Liu Xiu was very satisfied, and was still named the Taishou of Hecheng County. Pi Tong was grateful for Liu Xiu's kindness, so he ignored Wang Lang's surrender, and instead led two thousand elite horsemen to chase Liu Xiu along the road. Now they are together in the city of Shinto.

After the brothers arrived, Liu Xiu held a meeting. At the meeting, everyone quarreled fiercely, and their opinions were divided into two factions: most people think: This **** north is really not where we stay. It's better to let Ren Guang and Pi Tong escort us back to Chang'an, and then make plans.

The other faction is a minority opinion, mainly Ren Guang and Pi Tong. Among them, Pi Tong had the biggest opinion, and he said to Liu Xiu, "Your brothers are chased by Wang Lang, so they are bent on returning to Chang'an." In fact, Wang Lang has nothing to fear. A fortune teller pretends to be a name to fool the world. Luckily took the land of Yan Zhao, but the foundation was unstable. If you are willing to lead our soldiers from the two counties to attack him, are you still afraid that you will not be able to defeat him? If you return to Chang'an now, it will be equivalent to giving up the land north of the Yellow River to Wang Lang, and Guanzhong will also be shaken. The people of the world are long-sighted, and once the prestige of Chang'an is discredited, the consequences will be unimaginable! Both Yu Gengshi's regime and Yu Da Sima's future are extremely unfavorable. In the end, even if your generals want to go back to Chang'an, how can the soldiers of the second county be willing to follow you west? When they see you withdrawing, they may all run away on the road. Coupled with Wang Lang's pursuers, it will be dangerous."

In the final analysis: Chang'an is a long way to go, and going back is dangerous, let alone a long-term solution. The only way to survive is to stay and continue to fight!

The words made sense, and Liu Xiu nodded again and again, "We can stay, but with only thousands of troops in the two counties, the force is too weak, and I am afraid that it is not Wang Lang's opponent." So we must look for foreign aid," Liu Xiu glanced at everyone, and then said, "North of the Yellow River, we can defect to two people: one is Chengtouzi Road, with more than 200,000 troops. The other is Diao Zidu, who has 60,000 or 70,000 troops."

Chengtouzi Road, surnamed Zeng Zizilu, and Liu Xu raised troops in Chengdu, Chengyang Guolu County, because of the name "Chengtouzi Road". After Liu Xuan became the emperor, Feng Zhan was the Taishou of Donglai and Liu Xu was the Taishou of Jinan, both of whom were generals and military generals to show their restraint. Diao Zidu raised troops in the East China Sea, and was later named Xuzhou Mu by Liu Xuan.

Liu Xiu's suggestion seemed to be very safe, but it was immediately vetoed by Ren Guang. Ren Guang told Liu Xiu, "I don't want to save myself at a critical moment, and I go to others, which is very unreliable"

Liu Xiu asked Ren Guang, "But we have few soldiers, how can we save ourselves" Ren Guang smiled and said, "The soldiers are not waiting for them, but they are fighting." If we can't hit it, we'll recruit it."

Liu Xiu asked, "What is your good strategy?" Ren Guang said, "With our current strength, we can't beat Wang Lang, but we can still take the county." Let's take down the surrounding cities first and expand our strength. If we can't take it, we let the soldiers take it. Nowadays, people are very greedy, and when they see that it is profitable, there must be a large number of people who come to join the army" This is really a genius strategy. If you can't twist your thigh, then twist your arm first, and then twist your thigh when Wang Lang's arm is broken, and see what else he has to do?

Liu Xiu decided to take Ren Guang's suggestion, deploy troops, and prepare to carry out a huge Jedi counterattack! Liu Xiu's deployment was as follows: Ren Guang was the left general, Li Zhong was the right general, Pi Tong was the later general and Cheng Taishou, and Wan Xiu was the partial general, and everyone was made a liege. Staying in the sect and receiving the letter are too guarded. Pi Tong was ordered to be the forward force and dispatched first. Ren, Li, and Wan led their troops to follow.

Ren Guang threw smoke bombs and sent people to distribute proclamations everywhere, bragging that "the million-strong army of Da Sima Liu Xiu and Diao Zidu is coming from the east and preparing to crusade against Wang Lang." But Liu Xiu was very happy. Wang Lang is a rotten boy, and he dares to boast that he is the son of Liu Biao. Ren Guang blows Liu Xiu has millions of soldiers, so what is it? So in order to cooperate with Ren Guang, wherever Liu Xiu led the army, the flags fluttered during the day, and the fire was bright at night, and the momentum shook the sky!

That's the technique of bragging. If you are not afraid of the bull blowing big, you are afraid that you will not be able to blow, and if you want to blow, you will blow it convincingly. Soon, the news of Liu Xiu's comeback with a million-strong army scattered like snowflakes to the land of Hebei...

It turns out: bragging well still works. Liu Xiu's troops began an invincible sweep: first, Tangyang and Zhen Er Counties of Julu County surrendered without a fight. Then Liu Zhi, who gathered thousands of troops and occupied Changcheng County, Xindu County, surrendered and was named the general of Xiaocai. Then Geng Chun recruited the guests of the clan, and more than 2,000 people, including the old and sick, came to Liu Xiu and joined Liu Xiu in Yudi. Geng Chun was named a former general. Geng Chun, in order to cut off everyone's hopes, expressed his loyalty to Liu Xiu, and ordered his younger brother Geng and Geng Su to surrender to their hometown of Songzi County, Julu County, and burn down everyone's houses!

When Liu Xiu's troops took Xiaquyang County, Julu County, the troops of several thousand had risen to tens of thousands. This is a very considerable amount of gambling money, and Liu Xiu, who was once desperate and pessimistic, finally rekindled hope and confidence! Confidence fuels strength, and strength determines the future. At this time, more and more counties are like straws blown by the wind, and they have fallen to Liu Xiu...
