Liu Xiu rushed back to Wancheng overnight and immediately became the focus of attention of various factions of the coalition forces: what was he going to do?

Everyone is talking openly and secretly speculating.

Some hope that he will immediately stand up to avenge Liu Xuan, pull Liu Xuan's nest from the position of the first brother, and put Wang Kuang, Zhu Kun, and Li Yi

The masterminds behind the scenes were cut, and most of these people were children of Chungling; Some wanted him to cause some trouble, and then Liu Xuan and others hacked him too, and these are many of them

the soldiers of Xinshi and Pinglin in the original Green Forest Army; Of course, there are also people who read jokes.

In this way, what Liu Xiu's performance will do next has become the focus of attention of the coalition forces, and everyone plans to find their own way out from it.

Early the next morning, in everyone's doubts, Liu Xiu hurried to meet Liu Xuan. He sincerely apologized and only talked about his and Liu Xuan's mistakes

, did not show the slightest dissatisfaction and condemnation of the murder of the eldest brother.

Liu Xuan and the others were first surprised, and then their mood calmed down a little: This Liu Laosan didn't dare to be rude!

Liu Xiu came out of Liu Xuan's residence, and Liu Xuan's original subordinates hurriedly stepped forward, expressing deep condolences for Liu Xuan's death, and comforting him in many ways

He also asked him what to do next.

Liu Xiu just kept talking loudly about his mistakes, and did not whisper to them.

(Situ Guan's subordinates greeted Guangwu, and Guangwu was difficult to whisper, so he just introduced it deeply.) ）

In the past few days, in addition to simply greeting people in public, Liu Xiu has never been disrespectful to the more powerful, never boasting about Kunyang's military exploits, nor for it

The eldest brother is mourning, and his diet, daily life, speech and behavior are no different from usual.

Of course, he didn't connect with people in private, and he didn't make any small moves like Wang Shi plotting against Wang Mang and Liu Xuan plotting against Liu Xuan.

(I didn't taste the merits of Kunyang, and I didn't dare to mourn for Bosheng, and I ate and laughed as usual.) ）

However, whenever he is alone, or in the dead of night, Liu Xiu washes his face with tears, does not drink alcohol, does not eat meat, and falls into infinite nostalgia for his eldest brother, and

Profound worries about the great cause of reversing the Han Dynasty.

What am I going to do?

It should be said that Liu Xiu is currently in an extremely complex and dangerous situation:

The forces of Wang Kuang and Liu Xuan's clique occupy an absolute controlling position, and the already relatively weak Chung Ling clique is further weakened because of the absence of Liu Xuan.

Since Liu Xuan Group didn't discuss killing Liu Xiu, there is no need for a reason to kill you Liu Xiu.

Besides, you Liu Xiu is too good, but you can't be killed.

Liu Xiu quickly analyzed and judged the situation with extraordinary calmness.

Faced with this precarious situation, he believes that he has only three options:

The first is to immediately turn his face, lead his men and horses to avenge the eldest brother, and fight with Liu Xuan's group to break the net.

He believes that when he raises his arms and shouts, there must be many responders, because the prestige of himself and his eldest brother is here, and Tianli is here

There is also no shortage of loyalists among the sons and brothers.

However, this is likely to be exactly what Liu Xuan's group wants to see.

With the disparity in power between the two sides so great, this provided a pretext for the next step in their machination. As a result, since

His fate is likely to be the same as that of his eldest brother.

It should be said that since Liu Xuan Group has come to this point, it will think of its own reflection and will be ready to accept it.

This is a last resort and should not be taken in any case.

The second is to pull out their own team and go it alone.

Breaking away from Liu Xuan's group and fighting the world by himself is an inevitable choice for Liu Xiu to do sooner or later, but it is not yet ripe to do it now.

Since the Liu Xuan clique has come to this point, it will inevitably be militarily prepared, and it is obvious that it has become the target of their key precautions. Except for yourself

It's hard to say how many people can be pulled out of the power that is directly controlled. In the case that Liu Xuan's claim to be emperor was a foregone conclusion, many people included the Liu clan of Chungling

leaned towards Liu Xuan, and even Li Yi, who initially instigated his uprising, has fallen over, and how many Li Yi there are is for a while, I can't say for a while.

Moreover, even if you succeed in pulling out a team, you will immediately find yourself in a situation where you are surrounded by enemies on all sides.

It is already very easy to fight Wang Mang by himself, but how much support can he get in the current social atmosphere to fight Liu Xuan's group, which is holding the banner of anti-recklessness and recovering the Han Dynasty

It's hard to say.

Liu Xuan's first dynasty has just opened, and everyone has not really seen it clearly.

Among the many rebel armies currently waving the banner of anti-reckless Fuhan, the banner in Liu Xuan's hand is the most vivid, and it is his brother and son who have just arrived

The great military success helped the dynasty to greatly increase its popularity and make the banner even more dazzling.

Now that the gang is hastily scattered and working alone, it is really unlucky.

This third option is to maintain obscurity and seek justice with bending, first temporarily gain the trust of Liu Xuan Group, preserve strength, and then take the first place when the time is ripe

Or the second option.

It's a risky move!

However, Liu Xiu is sure to walk it well!

Liu Xuan's murder shows that Liu Xuan and these people are very realistic and cruel, they don't have the ability to fight the enemy, but they are experts in internal fighting, and they are typical "outside."

War layman, civil war insider". At the same time, this also shows that they are determined to strangle the children of Chungling, including Liu Xiu, of course.

At present, within the framework of the coalition army and the Genshi Dynasty, if it is still necessary to deal with Liu Xiu, then it is necessary to solve Liu Xiu, whether through the organizational process

Preface, or through intrigue and intrigue, there is no need for a reason at all, and it is much more convenient.

In their eyes, Liu Xiu is the boss of the Chungling forces, and he has been solved, and the others, including Liu Xiu, either jump out in annoyance to find death, or obediently

Obedient.

This Liu Xiu, who hurried back from the front line, don't look at the war as a good hand, he may not be good at engaging in intrigues and tricks, and he can be destroyed at any time, root

That's fine.

However, in Liu Xiu's view, although this move looks the most dangerous, as long as it is handled properly, it has the best hope of success.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Facts have proved that Liu Xiu's choice is completely correct.

Liu Xiu's personality is different from Liu Xiu, he is gentle, cautious, generous, and maintains a good relationship with the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces in peacetime.

In particular, the recent victory in Kunyang established a high prestige in the minds of everyone. Plus his eldest brother who also established great feats without great feats

Gu was killed, and he also won the sympathy of most of the soldiers.

As long as Liu Xiu has no rebellious behavior, even if Liu Xuan Group wants to kill him, it will not be able to find a suitable reason and platform for the time being.

Also, in Liu Xiu's view, Liu Xuan is just a mediocre person, and Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Zhang Wei, Zhu Kun, Li Yi and others are just strong and brave

, willful and ruthless reckless people, all their conspiracies and tricks have to be agreed by Liu Xuan in terms of procedures and on the surface.

If they engage in yang conspiracy, Liu Xiu confidently believes that they are not opponents at all!

He thought that as long as he operated carefully, it wouldn't take too much effort to play with these guys.

Almost all historians admit that Liu Xiu is worthy of being a genius actor, and he successfully buried the great pain of the murder of his compatriots in his heart and on the surface

Pretending to be nonchalant.

At this time, Liu Xiu almost fooled everyone.

However, the excellent Feng Yi found out the inside story. On Liu Xiu's pillow, he found many tear stains of crying.

One day, Feng Yi came to see Liu Xiu alone. He prostrated to the ground, said some words of relief, and begged Liu Xiujie to mourn and take care of his body.

Liu Xiu still did not reveal his scheming, and resolutely stopped it and did not allow him to say any more.

Liu Xiu's performance was a success.

He used his superficial self-blame and humility to successfully cover up his inner forbearance and struggle.

It doesn't matter if you say it's performance art, it's a trick of disguise, or black humor, or even performance art, Liu

Xiu won universal sympathy through such superficial articles, and also gained Liu Xuan's trust to a certain extent.

What a kind of mental struggle this is!

Facing the blood of the eldest brother and the clansmen, facing his extremely complex and dangerous situation, facing countless pairs of expectations, hatred, or doubts

In the face of the ever-changing political and military situation, and in the face of Liu Xuan's group's yin and harsh pickiness, Liu Xiu wants to put his most sincere feelings in his heart and

The most top-secret scheming is well concealed, and it is indeed not easy to sing a fake play more realistically than the real one.

It's not hard to fake, it's hard to make it more realistic than real.

It takes a lot of skill. And if anyone else is likely to lose their heads, they need even more skill.

Here, Liu Xiu's actor performed outstandingly.

What a firm conviction, how careful the planning, how tenacious perseverance, and how skillful the art of struggle it takes, and how much more it takes

What a huge mental torment, everyone can imagine.

Liu Xiu is not a person without feelings, on the contrary, he is a person who attaches great importance to family affection and has a lot of feelings. Just with the pleasure of the big brother

Compared with Qiu, he is more calm and restrained.

If Liu Xiu's feelings are extroverted, like a rushing river, Liu Xiu's feelings are volcanic lava covered by boulders!

It has only been more than half a year since the incident started last year, and many of my relatives have died. The second brother, eldest sister and 3 daughters, aunt and 2 sons, and dozens of clans

People all died under the butcher's knife of Wang Mang's official army!

However, the eldest brother and Liu Ji died at the hands of the partners of the uprising this time!

He is revenge, this revenge is not avenged, and he swears not to be a man!

Liu Xiu's obscure methods not only temporarily fooled Liu Xuan and his gang, but also made Liu Xuan feel ashamed.

Liu Xuan saw that Liu Xiu had a good attitude, and he didn't mean to oppose him, so he felt a little embarrassed. Besides, after all, he is a relative of his own family, so why not kill him?

It's good that I can pick up an emperor, why do I have to kill so many people?

Not long after, Liu Xuan promoted Liu Xiu and named him the general of the Broken Captives and the Marquis of Wuxin.

(At the beginning, I thought it was ashamed, worshipping Guangwu as the general of the broken captivity, and sealing the Marquis of Wuxin.) ）

Speaking of not killing Liu Xiu at this time, some historians think that Liu Xuan is cowardly and incompetent, some think he is kind, some say that he thinks of family affection, and some say Wang Kuang and so on

People don't understand politics, and it all makes sense.

Liu Xuan: They will have a lot of opportunities to appear in the future, and we will comment at any time when the time comes.

Anyway, at this time, Liu Xiu's Taoguang technique was successful.

At this point, Liu Xiu finally relied on his composure, wit and just the right words and deeds to relieve Liu Xuan and his gang of suspicions about themselves and get rid of them temporarily

is in danger.

It is dangerous for a child to climb on the edge of the well!

In this way, Liu Xiu not only succeeded in preserving himself, but also preserved the moral and public opinion conditions for himself to go it alone in the future.
