In April 25 A.D., it was spring in the north, and the grass and water were clear everywhere, and the breeze was blowing.

In Anci, Liu Xiu's station, the soldiers were elated, singing and laughing.

As soon as the local forces in Hebei were leveled, there was good news from Hanoi, and everyone was naturally very excited.

The generals discussed, now is the time to push the lord to the position of a brother, and hurry up to launch a new round of persuasion against Liu Xiu!

Yes, the lord has progressed, and all of us can follow the marquis and worship the generals, and glorify the ancestors!

Hurry up!

In view of the fact that not long ago, some comrades were hit by a bear when they mentioned this issue to Liu Xiu, although everyone has a high degree of unanimity and is in the same urgent mood, they are all Don't dare to stand up and say it first.

Everyone gathered outside Liu Xiu's residence, while discussing, waiting for someone to go in to see Liu Xiu first.

Ma Wu was anxious and didn't want to wait all the time, so he went in first and spoke first.

He said to Liu Xiu sincerely:

"Now there is no emperor in the world, if anyone takes the opportunity to rise up and grab the throne, even if Confucius is invited to be the prime minister and Sun Wu to be the general, there is no way.

The water spilled can't be recovered, and it's useless to take regret medicine. Although the king insists on being humble, how can he be worthy of his ancestors and the country?! I see that you might as well be immediately

Return to Jixian County, ascend the throne first, and then think about the war. As we do now, we have no name, we can call anyone a thief, and what is the point of calling around

This?! ”

Ma Wu's words couldn't be clearer.

Yes, the name of the emperor, or this position, there are countless people in the world staring, the sooner you grab it, the better, whoever is earlier will take the initiative.

If someone else preempts it and makes cooked rice into raw rice and uses it to command the world, it will be difficult for others to take it again.

Of course, the soldiers fought in the south and the north, and the east and west, didn't they just want to follow the Ming Lord to rise and rise?

I'm sorry, but my Ma Wu thinks the same way.

What Ma Wu said was actually Liu Xiu's heart.

Liu Xiu was very comfortable listening to it, and her heart couldn't help but fluctuate!

yes, I'm running around with my head on my shoulder, for what?

Fans follow me, for what?

Wang Lang and the "bad money" at the beginning of the year clamped down and chased me everywhere, what is it for?

However, enthronement is not mountaineering, and founding is not a joke.

If you want to be a brother, your kung fu is all outside the poem, you must wait until the heat, even if the heat arrives, you have to put it on the shelf.

Liu Xiu listened to Ma Wu's words, although he felt very comfortable, he still had to pretend to be unhappy.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, he also has to look at the attitudes of other fans.

Liu Xiu immediately looked surprised and said:

"How can the general say this? It's enough to kill heads! ”

(General He is a word, but he can be killed!) ）

Although Ma Wu is a martial artist, he also knows very well in his heart that if he does such a thing and says such a thing, he will definitely not invite death. He believed Liu

Xiu was insincere, so he was not worried and afraid, and stubbornly went further:

"That's the opinion everybody."

(Surely the generals.) ）

Liu Xiu remained silent, and of course he would not blame Ma Wu anymore, but let him go out to do everyone's ideological work, and asked everyone not to persuade him to go in anymore.

He has to wait and say, no matter how anxious he is about ascending the throne, he must be a little more reserved.

At the same time, Liu Xiu ordered the army to set off and return to Jixian County.

Just when Liu Xiu was resting in Jixian County, Gongsun Shu was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu.

Gongsun Shu is also an acquaintance of ours, he is very capable and ambitious, and he established himself as the king of Shu in Chengdu in May last year.

Gongsun belongs to the kind of person who shouts while doing things, and he has completed the work of the king and the emperor in a short time, although he promoted himself and caused it throughout the country

A lot of repercussions.

As a result, the generals under Liu Xiu were in a hurry to increase their ranks, and they were even more uncontrollable.

Liu Xiu led the army to continue south, passing through Fanyang.

This is the place where not long ago, he fought fiercely with Yulai and other troops. Due to the hurry, the battlefield had not yet had time to be cleaned, and the corpses of many cadres and soldiers were killed

It hasn't had time to bury it yet.

In the years of war, revisiting the old place always makes people feel emotional!

Is this "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither"?!

Liu Xiu was full of sadness, and arranged for the soldiers to ceremoniously bury their fallen colleagues and clean up the battlefield seriously.

(Guangwu returned from thistle, passed Fan Yang, and ordered the funeral officials.) ）

After everything was sorted out, he led the army to continue south.

Over the years, fighting and dying have become the norm.

With so many battles and too many dead, cleaning the battlefield is already a less important job.

Now Liu Xiu is bringing everyone here to seriously clean up the battlefield and bury his colleagues ceremoniously, obviously to teach the soldiers an ideological and political lesson.

Because Liu Xiu is introverted, he does a lot of things and says little, and he lacks work records at hand, so we can't know what Liu Xiu specifically told his subordinates

Something.

But his move at least tells everyone:

"One will accomplish ten thousand bones", we can have the current victory, because the brothers exchanged their lives for it;

We must not only think about our own glory and wealth, but also forget our comrades-in-arms who have fallen around us at any time!

War, in fact, is a very annoying .............

Although Liu Xiu was a supreme military strategist and conductor, he hated war.

We will have time to elaborate on this later, but we can't care about it now, because he set off with everyone again.

When Liu Xiu led his army to Zhongshan, the generals once again advised him to hurry up and become emperor.

Again, what I said here only refers to the present, if we even have the persuasion of Zhu You and Geng Yi in the past, it will be too much.

This time, everyone made full preparations and adopted the method of jointly submitting a letter.

Everyone is really anxious, and they have further thought about it, and the more resolute the attitude and the more radical the method of persuasion, the better.

Here's what the joint essay reads:

"The Han Dynasty was unfortunate, suffered from Wang Mang's scourge, the temple was destroyed, and the unification was cut off, the heroes of the Quartet were furious, and the lives of the people in the world were devastated. You and Uncle, Great King

Sheng (Liu Xuan) was the first to advocate righteousness, raised troops against the reckless Xinghan, and even began to steal the throne with your strength, not only could he not properly perform the duties of the Son of Heaven, but instead

Corrupting discipline and committing misdeeds have increased the number of thieves in the world and made the livelihood of the common people more difficult. Your first expedition to Kunyang, the king, annihilated countless enemies, Wang Mang's regime

Collapse ensues; Later, Handan was pulled out, and the northern states were quickly pacified; Now you have two out of three parts of the world, the territory is vast, and the armor is a million soldiers. On the strength of the battle,

No one can compete with you, and you are incomparable in terms of benevolence and political achievements. We, the courtiers, have heard that the throne of the emperor cannot be vacant for a long time, and the will of God cannot be fulfilled

Divide humility. I hope that you will consider this issue from the perspective of national interests and meet the common aspirations of all people in the world. ”

This piece first scolded Wang Mang, then criticized Wang Lang, and then praised Liu Xiu, at first glance, it seemed to be a tribute to Liu Xiu, but in fact, it urged him to be early from all angles

ascended the throne, and said that this is not Liu Xiu's personal business, but a matter of the safety of the world and the happiness of the people.

It should be said that this written persuasion is more justified and more earnest than Ma Wu's verbal request last time.

However, Liu Xiu still didn't listen.

(Guangwu didn't listen.) ）

In this way, on the issue of being the emperor, Liu Xiu and his subordinates, on the one hand, are calm and calm, and on the other hand, they are impatient, which is very interesting.

Of course, their disagreement is not about whether to be the emperor or who will be the emperor, but about what kind of time Liu Xiu chooses to be the emperor.

When Liu Xiu and his troops arrived in Nanpingjian County (present-day southeast of Zhao County, Hebei), the generals launched another round of pleas and persuasion.

They came to Liu Xiu's residence and begged him again to hurry up and become a brother.

Liu Xiu still refused, and for quite good reasons:

"Now that the thieves have not been cleared, and we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, why do we have to rush to take the position?! Don't talk about it, let's get out. ”

(The thieves are not peaceful, and they are attacked on all sides, so why do they want to be in the right position?) The generals are out. ）

Actually, Liu Xiu doesn't want to be the emperor as soon as possible!

The world is in my heart, and it will be in my hands.

It's just that I'm used to seeing the changing banner of the king at the head of the city, I'm used to seeing the rise and fall of the dynasty and the decline of life, and I don't want to make the mistake of anyone.

It's going to take my whole life.

Right now, I just need the right heat.

At this time, Geng Chun walked in.

He also came to persuade him, but his methods and principles were different.

He said to Liu Xiu sincerely:

"All the heroes and heroes say goodbye to their relatives, leave their homeland, and follow the king to fight to the death, and their wishes are just to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, make meritorious contributions, and glorify their ancestors. Right now

If you ascend the throne, it can be said that the time is good and the people's wishes are fulfilled, but the king has repeatedly shirked. I'm worried that if you are desperate and you're desperate

If there is nothing to be done, they will leave you, and they don't want to suffer with you all the time. If everyone breaks up, it will be difficult to gather again. Time cannot be left, and opportunities are no more

Yes, the will of the people cannot be disobeyed! ”

Geng Chun's words were very sincere and true.

Liu Xiu was very shocked when he heard this.

Yes, everyone follows you to fight in the north and south, for what?

What can you bring to the table in the end?

Do you have to follow you?

Is it inevitable that everyone will follow you?

Why?

This world needs blood, ideals, selflessness, forgetting death, and at the same time, it also needs interests.

You can't ask all of them to live in a vacuum! You can't even ask all people to be without desire!

Besides, don't you have your own interests? Don't you have desires of your own?

Even, for the sake of your own core interests, for your own realistic desires, have you ever been soft-handed?

Therefore, Liu Xiu felt that he couldn't always hold the gourd without opening the scoop, and he had to solve it as soon as possible and couldn't always avoid this problem.

Otherwise, what Geng Chun said is likely to become a reality.

Besides, I have a thin skin and can't eat!

Therefore, in the face of Geng Chun's persuasion, Liu Xiu replied:

"I'll think about it seriously."

(I'll think about it.) ）
