Chapter 43 Imprisonment
Liu Xiu did not know that the situation and the balance of forces between the enemy and us were undergoing subtle changes.
First Liu Ji and Chen Mu clashed, and then Liu Xiu beheaded Wang Yan strongly, and at this time, the Chungling faction and the various factions of the green forest completely formed a bond.
After Wang Kuang, Wang Feng and others discussed in the secret room, in order to transfer Liu Jiu, Chen Mu proposed that his brother Chen Shi bring a force of nearly 10,000 troops to burn, kill and loot around Jianyang, disguised as a gangster.
At this time, the generals asked Liu Xuan to send Liu Xuan to send troops to fight the thieves, but did not give Liu Xuan any right to transfer troops.
Liu Xuan received an order, because the matter was urgent, and he didn't have time to discuss with Liu Xiu, so he forcibly recruited the fire gun team and the Zhuge crossbow battalion in the name of Da Situ to attack the thieves who were wandering around.
In this way, Liu Xiu was completely isolated and lost strong reinforcements, and then Wang Kuang and others quickly took action, seized the processing plant and smelter under Liu Xiu's name, confiscated all his assets, closed down the school and medical center opened by Liu Xiu, and at the same time sent troops to surround the Jianyang County Ya, just waiting for Liu Xiu to be arrested.
When Liu Xiu returned to the county government from the martial arts hall, Ma Wu and Li Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly led troops to surround him.
"What does Zizhang mean?" Liu Xiu asked very calmly.
"Uncle Liu Wen, you also have today, it's not a day or two since you don't like your eyes." Li Yi said triumphantly.
"Come with us." Although Ma Wu sympathized with the Liu Xuan brothers, it was difficult to disobey his fate.
The two camps are different, which leads to different positions.
One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and the Liu family and the green forest system will tear their faces sooner or later.
But isn't this day coming too soon?
"There's always a reason to catch me, right?" Liu Xiu sneered.
can't be like Song Gaozong and Qin Hui, a trumped-up charge killed the meritorious Yue Wumu.
"You secretly mine salt and iron, isn't it enough to convict you of private soldiers and horses?" Li Yi completely tore off his disguise, revealing his fierce side.
"It's really a big joke, it's still Daxin Wang Mang who sits in the world now, not you are the first dynasty, if you want to convict me, unless you green forest first destroy Wang Mang, and then pacify Kyushu, and after the world is unified, everything and every inch of land are yours, and then you can teach me to convince me."
Liu Xiu is not unreasonable, is the first dynasty a unified and legitimate regime?
It's just an ordinary rabble!
Even if Liu Xiu is really guilty, only the Daxin Emperor Wang Mang is qualified to judge him.
Liu Xiu's general theory made Li Yi, who has always been good at sophistry, speechless.
"Uncle Wen can't help it, brother, I..." Ma Wu has been moved by Liu Xiu's words, and he really can't bear to fight in the same room.
Thinking about the green forest and the Chungling clan, starting from the reckless, after hardships, they are good brothers who have survived the tribulation together, but people are greedy, as the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, this is the truth, in order to compete for power and wealth, who is not licking blood on the knife's edge?
"Brother Zizhang doesn't need to blame himself, I'll go with you." Liu Xiu is generous, it doesn't matter at all.
"Please!" Ma Wu admires Uncle Liu Wen from the bottom of his heart, he is brave and strategic, and he is more like a character than his eldest brother Liu Xuan.
From beginning to end, Liu Xiu didn't look at Li Yi or say a word to him, which made Li Yi, who had strong self-esteem, hold a grudge.
Liu Xiu was arrested and imprisoned, and Thornyang City changed in one day.
......
Liu Xiu still doesn't know the news of Liu Xiu's arrest, and now he is only dedicated to suppressing bandits.
This group of rogues is very good at guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare, and often haunts the mountains and jungles, which is very difficult to deal with.
The bandits were numerous, and Liu Xuan had the advantage of firearms and crossbows, and in several battles in a row, the two sides suffered damage to each other.
On this day, there was heavy snowfall, and the road was covered with a thick layer of snow, making it difficult to make a rapid march.
The scouts sent by Liu Xuan came back to report that they found traces of the activities of the bandits in the direction of Yiqiu in the water, and Liu Xuan went out day and night, constantly approaching the unsuspecting bandits.
In the evening, when the snow finally stopped, a group of men and horses, all wrapped in black scarves and dressed in tatters, no different from the rogues, robbed houses and houses in this area, and harmed the people.
Known as the Black Turban Army, the leader of the Black Turban Army is called Chen Shi, who is the younger brother of the Great Sikong Chen Mu.
In fact, he played tricks, just to earn Liu Xiu, Chen Shi received the news that Liu Xiu had been arrested, which meant that his task was completed.
Therefore, the people and horses were reorganized and prepared to return to Thorn Yang without knowing it.
Chen Shi may have thought very highly of himself and underestimated Liu Xuan's military talent and combat strength.
At the position where the Black Turban Army was less than five kilometers away from Jianyang City, the two armies met, and Liu Xuan fought bravely, fighting Chen Shi's army with one as ten.
Moreover, with the power of firearms and crossbows, nearly 10,000 black turban soldiers were killed and wounded.
"Surrender!" Liu Xuan led his army to surround Chen Shi and the Black Turban Army.
There are only three or five hundred remnants left in the Black Turban Army, and they have no strength to fight at all.
"Brothers, will you surrender?" Chen Shi was covered in blood, staggered to his feet, and said to the black turban army behind him.
"We will surrender!" Chen Shi originally wanted to inspire the Black Turban Army to fight to the death, but he never wanted to be self-defeating, so that this remnant soldier completely lost the courage to resist.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would have today, but since I was defeated, the only thing to apologize for is death." As he spoke, Chen Shi drew his sword and immediately killed himself.
"He's a good man!" Ren Guang sighed.
Since then, the Black Turban Army has been wiped out.
Chen Shi was defeated and killed, and Liu Jiu cut off Chen Shi's head and sent the good news to the Imperial Court.
Chen Mu saw that his brother Chen Shi was killed, and his head was sacrificed, and his blood was on his head, and he fainted and fell to the ground directly.
"It's too much deception, I don't share the sky with that Liu Xuan!" Chen Muliang came to his senses for a long time, his two blood-red eyes stared at his brother Chen Shi's open eyes, this is death!
Holding back his grief, he closed his eyes for his brother.
"The second prince will avenge me!" Chen Mu almost coughed up blood.
Wang Kuang and Wang Feng also seemed to be a little remorseful after this fiasco.
There were not many soldiers and horses in the green forest, but now they have lost nearly 10,000 yuan, and the Liu Xuan brothers have more momentum.
Therefore, the most pressing task at the moment is to ease contradictions, develop military strength at the fastest speed, and recruit troops.
Chen Mu was unwilling, and since then he has fallen ill in bed, and has been nesting in the house for several months, no longer asking about the affairs of the court, Chen Mu himself seems to have evaporated from the world.
......
Liu Xiu's army returned victorious, but was told by Yin Lihua's sisters and brothers that Liu Xiu was arrested and imprisoned.
Liu Xuan was shocked, and wanted to mention the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to go straight to the prison, but at this time Liu Jia advised: "Da Situ, don't be impulsive, the other party is obviously coming at us, if you act recklessly, wouldn't you be in the middle of it?" This matter is considered in the long run, and Uncle Wen must have no worries about his life for the time being. ”
Li Tong also agreed with Liu Jia's point of view, and acted rashly, just giving people a handle.
