Chapter 78: The Crying Heaven Ceremony

Wancheng and Kunyang were lost one after another, and the Xinmang court was shaken.

Yan You, Chen Mao, Zhen Fu, Yan Shuo and others, who were defeated and fled, were imprisoned and deserved to be punished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is it now? According to the secret report of the spies, Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu's thieves are monstrous, and the strength of the thief army entrenched in Nanyang is close to 500,000, 500,000, Daxin is coming to an end. The more Wang Mang spoke, the more excited he became, and he lay on the dragon case and cried.

Shanggong mourned and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty is the chosen one, and he has the blessing of the emperor and the queen of heaven, so why be afraid of a few thieves?" ”

"That being said, how can I tolerate him sitting big?" Wang Mang sat upright and restored the majesty of an emperor.

"The minister has a plan to get rid of the traitor." Lamentation continued: "Since ancient times, all kings have gone to the suburbs to worship God in times of great turmoil, and win God's mercy and mercy with their grief. The minister suggested that His Majesty hold a crying ceremony, and the thieves surnamed Liu will definitely be defeated. ”

The mourning chapter is obviously talking nonsense, but he hated the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but no one objected, but applauded again and again.

Wang Mang also felt that crying was a good way.

Immediately ordered the mourning chapter to be done.

The mourning chapter was selected on a mountain beam in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and a cone-shaped altar was built, which was called "the platform that reached the sky". This altar made of bluestone is 5.5 meters high, with a base diameter of about 23.2 meters, and a ring of walls on the outside, surrounded by eight roads leading to the bottom of the mountain, meaning "eight ways of divine power".

Then prepare 300 pigs, cattle and sheep, and wait for the emperor to determine the auspicious day, and then hold a weeping ceremony.

Wang Mang heard that the altar was very good, so he came to inspect it in advance, and after reading it, he praised the mourning chapter fiercely, and said that he would be given an official.

Mourning Zhang smiled happily and worked more hard for the emperor.

Finally, on the day of the ceremony, Wang Mang wore a robe and a crown, stepped on the sturdy bluestone steps, and walked up to the very solemn altar.

When the three gongs and drums sounded, Wang Mang began to perform with affection, first bowing to the sky three times, and then offering the pigs, cows, and sheep heads prepared by the mourning chapter.

Wang Mang cried like his own parents, burst into tears, and accused the Nanyang Liu Xuan brothers of being ungrateful, rebelling, and asking the heavens to rain down wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and give the most cruel blow to the thieves in Nanyang.

God seemed to really respond, and the originally clear sky suddenly became dark, and then the wind blew fiercely, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city.

Wai Zhang clapped his hands on the side and shouted: "Your Majesty, God will punish these traitors." ”

"Haha, God treats me well." Wang Mang laughed loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden downpour fell, and the torrential rain came quickly and violently, drenching Wang Mang and his ministers with a drenched chicken.

A farce has finally come to an end.

And Liu Xuan of Nanyang didn't really hit five thunders every day because Wang Mang cried in the sky, and he was killed.

On the contrary, the momentum is stronger than before.

There was an endless stream of people who came to Hanting.

The plan was to send troops to attack Dingling, Yunxian and other counties in Yingchuan, but did not want to enter the army on the way, and several counties in Yingchuan surrendered to Liu Jiu Kaicheng.

Most of Yingchuan County belongs to Hanting.

......

In this situation, there was no harm to the Han army, so the generals began to persuade him, and Liu Bowen, Liu Jia and other important ministers also wrote to Liu Xuan and supported him as emperor.

Liu Xiu was still hesitating, and Chao Chinese Wu had to consult with Liu Xiu first.

Liu Xiu saw that everyone was unanimous, and he also knew that the situation was pressing, and it was difficult for Liu Xiu to be the emperor if he didn't want to.

Calling the emperor can at least win people's hearts, and as soon as people's hearts are scattered, they will be cold.

He agreed to support his eldest brother Liu Xuan as emperor.

Under the persuasion of Liu Xiu and others, Liu Xuan finally decided to be the emperor, set the name of the country as Han, change the Yuan Dynasty and build martial arts, and the city of Wancheng was amnesty to the world.

After Liu Xuan ascended the throne, he canonized Liu Liang, Liu Ci, Liu Chang, Liu Xiu and others as the princes of Zong, and canonized the eldest sister Liu Huang and the younger sister Boji as the princesses of the Han Dynasty.

All the ministers of civil and military affairs are rewarded.

The news of Liu Xuan's proclamation of the emperor reached Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, and the emperor and the Xinmang court were greatly shaken.

Wang Mang was the most depressed in his heart, this Liu Xuan, didn't cry him to death, and let him be the emperor.

I can't bear it anymore, how can there be two emperors in the world?

Immediately ordered, Dasikong Wangyi and Dasitu Wangxun were the commanders, leading an army of 420,000 to attack Kunyang.

In order to deal with Liu Xuan, Wang Mang made up his mind.

recruit and recruit famous men who are proficient in the art of war of 63 schools to serve as staff officers in the army; Appointed as a lieutenant, he was responsible for building a fort and commanding an army of beasts composed of tigers, leopards, rhinos, elephants, etc., in order to deter the enemy in battle.

Each prefecture and county selected its own elite soldiers, and the number of troops concentrated in Luoyang reached 420,000, known as a million army.

The army traveled thousands of miles, and the grain and grass were endless.

As soon as Wang Yi and Wang Xun's army was launched, Liu Xiu had already received accurate information.

Personally organize soldiers and horses to defend Kunyang.

A big war, inevitable.

In order to better coordinate the battle, Liu Xiu invited himself to serve as the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, and was fully responsible for resisting the new reckless army.

......

Kunyang City, Marshal's Mansion in the North.

Liu Xiu closed his eyes on the handsome case.

"Ding-dong! The system releases the main task: please host in the battle of Kunyang, defeat Wang Yi and Wang Xun's 420,000 troops, reward 10,000 military merit points, 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry and their commander Zhang Liao, the system will issue rewards in advance, please pay attention to check. ”

The dog system is really normal, this wave of assists is so beautiful!

"Report to the marshal, there is a general outside the mansion who calls himself Zhang Liao, and he has something important to see." The personal guards reported.

"Please!" Liu Xiu couldn't hide her excitement.

Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Megatron Xiaoyaojin!

It's just that some adjustments have been made to the system, and the original commanders of the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, have been replaced by Zhang Liao.

"The last general, Zhang Wenyuan, pays a visit to the lord!" The system set Zhang Liao to be a cavalry general secretly sent by Liu Xiu, who was responsible for the management and training of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and now he has officially debuted.

"Let me see, it's darkened and thin, Wenyuan, you've worked hard." Liu Xiu took his hand affectionately.

"For the great cause of the Lord, I will not hesitate." Zhang Wenyuan is brave and loyal.

"Good, good!" Liu Xiu said two good things in a row.

The monarch continued to gossip.

......

"Tell the king, our army sentry found that the new army is only twenty miles away from Kunyang."

"Got it, let's find out." Liu Xiu said lightly.

Wang Yi Wang Xun only had 420,000 people, and there were as many as 200,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Kunyang City.

"Report, the thief army is only ten miles away from me."

"Report, 5 miles away from Kunyang."

"The new army is camped 2 miles away from me."

There are constant Malay newspapers.

Liu Xiu knew that the battle of Kunyang must not be defeated, and there was no place to die if he was defeated.

You have to win, and you can only win!

Knock knock! Beat the drum of the generals, and all the generals came to the Marshal's Mansion.

"I've seen the big handsome!" Liu Bowen, Liu Jia, Liu Ji, Li Tong, Ren Guang, Ran Min, Jia Fu and others gathered in the hall.

"You may be seated." Liu Xiu continued: "The Xinmang army of 420,000 is about to attack Kunyang, I don't know what the generals will do? ”

"Kunyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our army can hold on to the city." Liu Jia was the first to stand up and say.

Li Tong nodded: "I agree with Xiaosun's opinion." ”
