Liu Xiu cleaned up his thanks, indicating that he had completely torn his face with Gengshi, and he would be the enemy he would fight when he met in the future. This also shows that the first king

The DPRK's attempt to intervene in Hebei has failed, and various local forces in Hebei have been basically wiped out by Liu Xiu.

In other words, now, Hebei is basically Liu Xiu's.

However, Liu Xiu soberly realized that "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." ”

He saw that the throne of the first brother was just a stone's throw away, and several strong enemies were still circling around it, and the final struggle would be more difficult and cruel.

He believes that he should accurately grasp the situation, take Hebei as a base, and make decisive moves so as not to fall short.

At this time, the situation has changed somewhat, and we should analyze it with Liu Xiu.

In the winter of 24 A.D., the generals of the Red Mei Army, who were full of strong resentment against the First Dynasty, decided to put the main force after some hesitation and repeated discussions

Divided into two, they marched west together and attacked Chang'an, the capital of the first city.

As we said earlier, this is not only the need for the red eyebrows to find a way out, but also the forced by the "bad money" at the beginning.

Everyone wanted to live a good life for a few days, but they were disappointed.

Although everyone has won many battles, they have been adrift for many days and are already tired.

What's more, everyone is confused, disappointed, and confused: what's the use of winning battles, or even winning battles all the time?

Physically and mentally exhausted, and homesick, saying that winter is here again, many people are sad day and night, crying and crying.

Fan Chong and other generals discussed that if everyone returned home, they would definitely be separated, and only by going directly to the west to fight the beginning could they unite everyone.

In this way, the Red Eyebrows were divided into two ways:

Fan Chong and Xiao An led one from Wuguan (now south of Shangnan, Shaanxi), and Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, and Yang Yin led one from Luhun Pass (now Yiyangdong, Henan).

South) set off, the two roads went hand in hand, attacked fiercely, and the spearhead was directed at Chang'an.

The first dynasty sent Wang Kuang, the prince of Dingguo, Wang Chengdan of Xiangyi, and Liu Jun, the general of the anti-Wei Dynasty, to lead troops to meet the enemy.

At the same time, he was helpless against Liu Xiu, and was afraid that he would cross the Yellow River and come south to settle accounts, so he sent the great Sima Zhu Kun and Li Yi, the king of Wuyin, to guard Luoyang.

In the face of the dragon fighting with the red eyebrows, Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

He'd wanted to see this situation for a long time!

These two armed forces are their own fierce enemies, as long as they fight, no matter what the outcome is, it doesn't matter if both are defeated, one is defeated and one is injured, and they are both themselves

is very advantageous.

In this way, from Hebei to Guanzhong, the duel situation of the three military forces of Gengshi, Liu Xiu, and Chimei quickly took shape.

Liu Xiu believes that the time has come to fight a big battle and win a big victory!

He made a quick decision, quickly made new political and military arrangements, and immediately freed up his hands to continue to clean up the remnants of Hebei's local armed forces.
