The rebel coalition forces joined forces and immediately began to fight together against Wang Mang's official army, and the first battle was to attack Changju (in present-day Nanyang, Henan), and the opponent was the Xinye County Lieutenant.

Changju was a place that was smaller than the township system, roughly equivalent to today's administrative village.

However, because of its important geographical location, the official army set up an important military base here, and the lieutenant of Xinye County personally sat in the town and commanded the garrison.

It was the first time in his life to participate in such a military battle, and Liu Xiu was very excited!

I am a scholar, I don't want to cause trouble, I just want to rely on my own ability to study, be an official, get married, and have children. Even if the times are bad, farming in the countryside can make ends meet for the rest of my life.

But this world is really too bastard, and the world outside my village is really too exciting!

I am a gentleman, I am trustworthy for others, I am kind to others, I never plot against people, and I don't want to kill people.

But in this world, I don't resist, I only get eaten!

People are doing it, and the sky is watching!

I'm Liu Xiu here!

The allied forces shared the same hatred of the enemy and launched a fierce attack on the official army garrison led by Captain Shinno.

Liu Xiu rode a bullock, took the lead, was extremely brave, and fought into the enemy formation.

I'm sorry, our actor may be a little indecent, no way, as I said earlier, the coalition forces are tight on hand and the equipment is too poor.

At that time and later, people called Liu Xiu a bull-riding general, which is from here.

The bullock is indeed not suitable for war, in addition to its brute strength, it also has the characteristics of slow speed and difficult control, and it does not have the advantages of war horses. When a war starts, the master carries a knife and slashes, and it basically can't do what it needs to do.

However, Liu Xiu practiced martial arts in his early years, and his martial arts were outstanding, and he actually drove the bullock back and forth to kill, as if entering a no-man's land.

It wasn't until he killed the lieutenant of Xinye County and captured a war horse that he replaced the bullock.

In this battle, due to the close cooperation of the coalition forces, the leaders took the lead bravely and won a great victory.

By the way, the six Liu Xiu brothers and sisters have a tradition of practicing martial arts since childhood.

According to the available historical data, at least Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and the third sister Liu Boji are martial arts masters.

Liu Xuan's martial arts are world-renowned, bravely crowning the three armies, and he is not very capable of fighting when he charges.

Liu Xiu is by no means an ordinary scholar or farmer. He practiced kung fu in his early years, and everyone will see that whenever there is a war, he often rushes into the enemy line single-handedly or with only a few people, and repeatedly performs miraculous feats.

Liu Boji also didn't let her eyebrows, since she was a child, she followed a few brothers to dance with guns and sticks, not to mention ordinary people, ordinary generals are not opponents, and many famous generals in the official army will be planted under her horse.

Now that the first battle has been won, Liu Xiu has obtained a war horse, and at the same time, he has also improved other equipment.

From then on, he gave up his cattle and rode horses, and began a life of colorful, treacherous, and exciting political and military career.

The first joint operation was a great victory, and the morale of the coalition forces was high and their fighting spirit was doubled.

Therefore, Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu, Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and others decided to take advantage of the victory to march and continue to march westward, attacking Tangzi Township (now Zaoyangbei, Hubei).

Tangzi Township is located in Huyang County, Nanyang County (now Tanghenan, Henan), because it is the location of a military depot of the official army, it is also very important, and it is guarded by Huyang Lieutenant himself.

The coalition forces worked together, attacked fiercely, took Tangzi Township, killed Huyang Wei, and obtained a large amount of loot (entered Tangzi Township, and killed Huyang Wei).

The coalition forces won two battles and two victories, their morale was high, and the situation was promising.

The officers and men of the coalition were overjoyed, laughing at the officers and soldiers for not fighting, while busy dividing the spoils.

Right! Divide things right away! I've never seen so much of this good stuff!

Just when the coalition forces were winning the first battle and were busy dividing their belongings, the question arose:

Because of the annoyance of dividing the property, everyone wants to be angry!

It turned out that the disputes that occurred within the coalition forces were not fought over the most difficult tasks, but when they were divided into things.

This contradiction is not a struggle to give more to others, but on the contrary, a struggle to take more from others.

Everyone didn't give in to each other, they blushed and blushed, and they had to do it.

Among them, the children of Chungling seized more property, which caused the eyes of the soldiers of Xinshi and Pinglin, who clamored for it, but the children of Chungling refused to give it.

Generally speaking, if the contradictions arise from the struggle for a difficult task, they are easily resolved, and the outcome is quite good, and at the end of the day everyone will have tears in their eyes, and they will hug each other tightly, and the revolutionary friendship will be further deepened.

Fighting for property is different, and it hurts people's feelings.

When everyone was arguing and even fighting with fists and kicks, all revolutionary feelings and common ideals were put in the back of their minds.

Everyone knows that the just-laid munitions warehouse is a big piece of fat:

First, there are many things, otherwise the officers and soldiers will not call warehouses, and they will also arrange heavy guards.

The second is that it is very useful, both military and civilian, and now things are too expensive, you see how many people starved to death, and how many people are so hungry that they eat people!

Third, it has strategic significance, to put it bluntly, the world is currently in chaos like this bear, whether you want to survive or develop in the future, you will inevitably have to fight people and prevent being beaten, no matter who you fight with, in fact, it is to fight materials and fight things.

Now, the state of mind of the officers and men of the coalition forces is that just like seeing the officers and soldiers go forward to cut down together, everyone wants to grab so many good things that have been captured.

So, Xinshi and Pinglin soldiers conspired: If we can't be soft, we will come hard, and the children of Chungling will take advantage of it and beat them!

(The army has uneven distribution of property and property, and everyone is hateful and wants to counterattack Zhu Liu.) ）

It's just too dangerous!

For the children of Chungling, there are only two ways to go:

The first is to protect the property in hand, and the Xinshi soldiers and Pinglin soldiers will fight with them when they come to rob them, it's a big deal for you to live or die, and then say goodbye.

However, the best result in this way is that the military alliance that has just been established goes bankrupt, and it is not good that the children of Chungling are eaten by the Xinshi soldiers and Pinglin soldiers, or everyone is defeated and injured, and they are all eaten by the official army.

Second, we should attach importance to the overall situation of common recklessness, do not care about the amount of things divided, and even give up what we already have in hand, ease contradictions, and seek unity in order to strive for greater victories in the next step.

However, at a time when the army is raging and starving is everywhere, it is not easier to get anyone to spit out the fat that reaches his mouth and let go of what he has desperately grabbed than to fight.

Don't you see, throughout the ages, how many heroes and heroes have formed revolutionary friendships with ordinary people in order to fight, and turned against each other in order to share the fruits!

The ancients deeply felt this, and there is a saying that people die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Fortunately, the coalition has Liu Xiu!

Liu Xiu was keenly aware of the serious danger of this situation, and resolutely and strictly restrained the children of Chungling, demanding that everyone immediately take out all the spoils of war and give them all to the soldiers of Xinshi and Pinglin.

A fire that seemed to be about to happen was avoided, and Xinshi and Pinglin Bing were very happy and impressed with Liu Xiu.

Now that the matter of dividing things has been solved, everyone is still buddies.

(Liu Xiu's Zong's gains are all with it, and everyone is happy.) )

It can be said that in the proper handling of this matter, Liu Xiu showed extraordinary strategic vision, superb political wisdom, and excellent ability to control complex situations and solve thorny problems.

In practice, this is not an exaggeration.

From the hands of nearly 10,000 Chung Ling disciples (plus their families should be tens of thousands), it is certainly not only a hard work to collect the property they have obtained with their heads and give it to others.

Everyone is desperate for their lives, why do you want me to pay it over?

It is not difficult to imagine that it is not a few people who only care about immediate interests among the people of Chungling, but if someone stands up against Liu Xiu's approach and asks everyone to protect things tightly, someone will definitely respond.

Therefore, the people who do this well in a very short period of time are not ordinary people.

The proper handling of this matter greatly enhanced Liu Xiu's prestige and also safeguarded the unity of the coalition forces.

Okay, now that we're all buddies again, let's get to work!

The coalition forces decided to take advantage of a fierce force and go north with all their might, attacking Jianyang (now south of Nanyang City, Henan) and attacking Wancheng.

Jianyang is a subordinate county of Nanyang County, not far to the south of Wancheng, and it is also an important barrier to the south of Wancheng.

The coalition forces soon captured Jianyang, and the county magistrate fled with his wife and children.

Everyone, pay attention, don't think that this county magistrate is incompetent, on the contrary, he is very capable, because he is Cen Peng.

This is a very remarkable county magistrate, let's get closer to him.

The county magistrate Cen is a native of Jianyang, born in a wealthy family, and he is still very conscientious when he is a grassroots cadre.

The dragon is not a thing in the pool.

Later, whether he was governing the government or leading the troops, he was meticulous, brave in battle, full of strange schemes, faithful and righteous, and showed great wisdom and great skills, which ordinary people could not match.

Because of his outstanding contribution to helping Liu Xiujun in the world, he was named a marquis and a general, and was listed among the "28 generals of Yuntai".

However, this time, it is also a fact that the county magistrate Cen fled in the wilderness.

Because the coalition forces are outnumbered, fighting spirit, and do not punch according to the convention.

In a small county town, Wang Mang's official mansion did not put down heavy troops, and tens of thousands of red-eyed coalition men went around the streets, and they were also shaken off and scattered.

What's more, there are Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu in the coalition army.

Therefore, for the county magistrate Cen, it is not that the brothers are incompetent, but that the enemy is too capable.

County Magistrate Cen was very embarrassed and ran to his top boss, Nanyang Taishou Zhen Fu.

Please note that the county magistrate Cen did not desert, but immediately reported to his superiors when he failed in his work, and took the initiative to suffer the bear.

Zhen Fu was furious and blamed him for not being able to stick to Thorn Yang and should be held responsible, so he detained his mother and wife and asked him to make meritorious contributions and make up for his mistakes.

The county magistrate Cen had no choice but to lead the crowd to meet the coalition army.

At this time, the situation of the coalition forces was indeed very good, not small.

The coalition army took a break and looked at Nanyang County to govern Wancheng.

The coalition forces have won consecutive battles, and the edge is like a bamboo.

They conquered territory, seized property, and strengthened their ranks, and their morale was at an all-time high.

Good things always follow.
