Liu Xiu was busy in Kunyang, and on the Wancheng side, Liu Xiu and Cen Peng County Magistrate's offense and defense were also very fierce.

Liu Xuan was fierce, Cen Peng was strong, and the coalition army besieged the city for several months and it was difficult to take it, and the battle entered a stalemate.

At this time, it was already May, the scenery of late spring was ordinary, the scenery of early summer was not good, and the fields were full of solemn scenes on the edge of the city. It's not the season

However, it is the lack of green. The grass and crops all over the mountains were either eaten up by the common people, or trampled by the soldiers and horses coming from the south to the north. As far as the eye can see, it arrives

It's a miserable yellow.

Without green, is it still called spring and summer?

Everywhere there is mourning, starvation, and killing, can we still see beauty in it?

It's all because of the war.

War is the continuation and polarization of politics.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

Whether it is a just or unjust war, whether the purpose is to maintain a corrupt regime or to break new ground

It will cause a large number of casualties and property damage, and will create many tragedies.

Can't you fight if you don't fight?

Speaking of this to everyone, my heart aches faintly.

Of course, sometimes for the sake of self-defense, for the sake of peace, in order to avoid a greater war, honest and kind people have to roll up their sleeves and fight the enemy.

It was through these unbearable years that Liu Xiu, as the most outstanding military strategist in the history of our country, was called the emperor who was the most proficient in war by a great man

Emperor, he later also hated war from the heart, and planned and commanded some wars to fight without fighting.

Okay, let's talk about it here, Kunyang and Wancheng should be taken care of.

In Wancheng, the excellent county magistrate Cen Peng has brought his talent to the extreme.

After being besieged for several months, and at the turn of spring and summer, when there was no reception, all the things that could be eaten in the hands of the county magistrate Cen had already been eaten, and the officials and troops defending the city were open with the people

Beginning to eat people.

(The city ran out of food, and people cannibalized each other.) ）

This battle really can't be fought.

Aside from anything else, under the circumstances of extreme hardship and even starvation, it is quite possible for his subordinates to continue to fight the battle

Terrific.

However, when his men gnaw at each other, no matter how good the commander is, he can't beat it.

As a result, the county magistrate of Cen surrendered to Liu Xuan.

However, compared with Wang Mang's other cadres, when Liu Xuan was able to survive until this time, County Magistrate Cen had already created a miracle!

Liu Xuan took Wancheng, and Liu Xuan, Wang Kuang and other figures of the first dynasty immediately moved in: they finally have a nest!

Wancheng was originally the county and political center of Nanyang, but now it has become the temporary capital of the first regime.

As soon as they entered the city, the cadres immediately wanted to kill Cen Peng, and they were determined to kill him!

It's been a few months since the dynasty opened, and we all have official positions, and we all have to hang out of the city, which is really shameless!

A court that turns a county magistrate out of the city is really faceless!

Since the beginning of the partnership, the victories have been fought under the command of Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu. Now, we don't want to kill someone who surrenders with the respect of the court

Ministry, what face can you have?!

Of course, when this Cen Peng was fighting Liu Xuan, we were worried that there would be a knife and blood splashed on him, so he might hide a little far. But now

, Liu Xuan cleaned him up, absolutely safe, everyone played prestige and evil anger on him, why not do it?

Quick, cut the one surnamed Cen!

However, Liu Xuan resolutely opposed the killing of Cen Peng!

On the issue of whether to kill Cen or not, Liu Xuan once again showed his far-reaching strategy and broad-mindedness.

He was a man of great faith and righteousness, and he was always above board. In his opinion, killing generals is not a gentleman's doing.

What's more, such chaos in the world is caused by all kinds of villains represented by Wang Mang, and there is just a lack of righteous people like Cen Peng.

So, he calmly and sincerely said to the angry senior cadres:

As an important cadre in the county, Cen Peng did his best to defend the city. Now that we should do great things, we should recognize such faith

Righteous people. It is better to reward him to inspire future generations. ”

Liu Xuan's words are very reasonable, besides, Wancheng was won by him, and Cen Peng was subdued by him, so his words also carry a lot of weight.

Otherwise, a little earlier, why didn't everyone kill Cen Peng?

As a result, the first emperor Liu Xuan adopted Liu Xuan's opinion, named Cen Peng as the Marquis of Guide, and made him subordinate to Liu Xuan's command.

Cen Peng, the best county magistrate of Wang Mang's regime, joined the rebel coalition army from then on.

It's just that because he hasn't met the gentleman Liu Xiu at this time, and the "bad money" at the beginning is constrained everywhere, his stage is not big enough, and he is dominant

The era of building brilliant deeds has not yet begun.
