Half a month later, news came from Puyang that the 50,000 Green Forest Army was defeated, with nearly 10,000 casualties, most of them were captured and surrendered, and less than 5,000 people fled back with Li Song. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Xuan was finally a little scared, especially when he heard the battle report brought back by Li Song, the extremely exaggerated description of the Red Mei Army made him afraid.

"What do you say now?" He looked at the ministers with distraction.

The court was silent for a while, Li Song and Zhao Meng were speechless after just losing the battle, and the old general of the green forest was not angry that Wang Kuang was demoted, and he was silent, and finally Zhu Kun had to stand up.

"The red eyebrows rebelled, I lost thirty percent of the land, and I am still in the country, and there should be no problem for the 300,000 Green Forest Army to hold the front line in Shandong."

Liu Xuan was obviously relieved when he heard this, "That's good." ”

However, Zhu Kun's words changed, "But the Shandong area is densely populated, if the Red Mei Army is allowed to develop with peace of mind, I am afraid it will not be long before their forces will catch up with us." ”

"That's good!" Liu Xuan's heart rose again, he has always been interested in crusading against Wang Mang, because he is afraid that there will be any variables, the throne under the buttocks, the beauties of the harem, he can't give up, he is like a person with a good hand of cards, he would rather keep it than throw down any one to gamble.

"Only by constantly sending troops to drain their forces from all directions can they regain the lost territory." Zhu Kun suggested.

"These Red Eyebrow troops are extremely brutal, if we lose, won't we be consumed by them!" Li Song's courage had lost since he fled, and he shouted in horror.

Liu Xuan is also beating the drum in his heart, and he thinks he can do it easily by playing some tricks, but if he does it with real knives and guns, he has no confidence at all.

"Hmph, Lord Li don't want to shake the heart of the army, the minister thinks that as long as the planning is done properly, the Red Eyebrow Army is not vulnerable at all!" Shen Tu built a line.

"Do you have any suggestions, come quickly!" Liu Xuan hurriedly asked.

"The minister suggested that King Biyang be reactivated, with him in command of the whole army, he will definitely be invincible!"

"No way!" Liu Xuan and Li Song spoke almost in unison.

"There is an inextricable relationship between Wang Kuang and Na Fan Chong, if he has bad intentions, then the court will really be finished." Li Song said urgently.

"Yes, if it wasn't for Wang Kuang's incompetence last time, Fan Chong would have been killed a long time ago, so you might as well think of other ways." Liu Xuan waved his sleeves and was resolute, although the Red Eyebrow Army was dangerous, it was a foreign enemy, at least it was far away, but once Wang Kuang was put in charge of the army, his throne could be replaced at any time, which he was absolutely unwilling to take the risk.

"The minister has a play!" At this time, a royal priest bowed.

"During this time, there is a news that has been widely circulated among the people, and after thinking about it, I am afraid that it is the blessing of God to my court."

"What's the news?"

"I can't get it, in Hebei."

As soon as these words came out, there was a discussion in the court, and it turned out that many people had heard of this sentence.

"Can anyone explain it to the widow?" Liu Xuan wondered.

"I'll do it." Li Yi glanced at the imperial history that was listed just now, and smiled slightly, "I have also heard this news, in short, it is that those who win Hebei win the world." ”

Li Yi said proudly, "As long as you have read the map, you will know that as long as you take Hebei, you can use the Yellow River as a barrier from the north to the south, and curb the development of the Red Mei forces. ”

"The second is that Hebei is now in chaos, and there are nearly ten forces attacking each other, as long as they are all collected by my Han army, what are you afraid of when the time comes."

Liu Xuan's face turned happy when he heard this, "So that's the case, Lord Li is worthy of being a pillar of the country, and he analyzes it thoroughly, which makes the widow feel a little at ease." ”

Li Yi hurriedly thanked him, and he was ecstatic in his heart, he had already typed the draft of these words, and even the imperial history was also spoken under his instructions, in order to be majestic now.

But the minister was a little worried. Zhu Kun said, "Although Hebei is indeed important, with our current situation, on the one hand, we must resist the attack of Chimei, and on the other hand, we must also guard against Wang Mang's counterattack, and it is difficult to send extra troops to recover the Hebei lands." ”

"The minister has a plan." Li Song decided to make a good performance, "These forces in Hebei are just some landlords and powerful people, in order to find a good future, as long as we send envoys to recruit and allow money from official positions, we can let them surrender without a fight." ”

"Hmm!" Of course, it is in line with Liu Xuan's mind that there is no need to fight, "That's it!" He swept his gaze over the crowd, "What about this candidate?" ”

Da Situ Liu Cijin said: "Going out of Hebei is very important, in order to show our sincerity, we must choose a sect to go." ”

"Clan?" The names of the Liu family's children flashed in Liu Xuan's mind, and he was a little undecided for a while.

"The minister recommends Liu Xiu, Marquis of Wuxin." Liu Ci continued.

Liu Xuan was stunned, this name had been habitually ignored by him before, but now that he thinks about it, it is really appropriate, he was just about to speak, and Zhu Kun jumped out again.

"No! It is a big deal to go out of Hebei, so let's think about it in the long run! ”

"Zuo Da Sima is worried that he won't be able to do it?" Liu Xuan asked.

"Definitely." Zhu Kun glanced at Su Yun, who was standing at the end of the group of officials, this guy was not incompetent, but too capable, he whispered, "Do you have to forget Liu Xuan?" ”

Liu Xuan's heart suddenly nodded and nodded, "Then is there anyone else?" ”

Zhu Kun thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anyone else, after all, Hebei did not return to obedience, and convincing people with virtue is just an ideal, if you want to get things done, you must have courage and resourcefulness, although there are many children of the Liu family, but they are either good gentlemen like Liu Jia and Liu Ci, or they are some gentlemen, and they are very entangled for a while.

"Well, let's talk about it now." Liu Xuan sighed and rubbed his swollen eyebrows, now what he wants most is to get drunk and dream of death with the beauties of the harem, and sweep away the bad luck during this time.

This court discussion ended in vain, and Su Yun didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he had already made up his mind.

After listening to Su Yun's narration, Deng Yu touched his newly grown half-inch beard, "Childe asked me to send people to spread the news before, but I didn't expect it to be for today, so it seems that I really expect the enemy to take the lead, and I admire it." ”

"But will Liu Xuan really agree to let us go to Hebei? I don't think it's just Zhu Kun, but the people of the Green Forest family will not let Gongzi leave Wancheng. Feng Yi was a little worried.

"Don't worry, just wait for the results." Su Yun looked indifferent.

Since coming to Wancheng, he has tried his best to shape himself into a harmless image, pretending to be a grandson in front of people, Mingli has not even met any Nanyang veteran privately, and he has not spared a lot of money to deal with the top and bottom, I believe that in Liu Xuan's heart, his danger has been minimized, and it is imperative to go out of Fuhebei, under the pressure of Fan Chong, things will soon come to an end.

"Li Yi, Li Yi, it's up to you now."
