In Kunyang City, the Marshal's Mansion in the North.

Liu Xiu opened the information submitted by Fuhu's secret agent, and it turned out that the new emperor Wang Mang ordered the crown prince to lead an army of 400,000 to support the rebellion against the marshal.

When Liu Xiu saw this number, he was numb.

How can it be?

Where did Xinmang get so many soldiers and horses, 420,000 is the limit.

And now there are more than 800,000 people, how can such a huge army be defeated?

Liu Xiu's whole person is not good.

This Wang Lin is even stronger than he imagined!

Liu Xiu invited the military advisor Liu Bowen alone.

"Sir, I just received information that the new emperor has sent another 400,000 troops..."

Liu Bowen had no expression on his face, and he didn't seem to care about the number of the other party's army.

"The lord is scared?" Liu Bowen was silent for a while, and suddenly asked with a smile.

"Oh sir, do you still have the heart to joke?" It was the first time for Liu Xiu to encounter such a big crisis.

Obviously, the other party's strength is too strong, and Liu Xiu is a little bottomless.

"The lord has always been wise, why is he out of proportion today? A mere 800,000 is enough to worry about! Liu Bowen's expression was very indifferent.

The feather fan in his hand shook gently, leisurely and leisurely, obviously in the game, but like an outsider.

"Sir reminded me that I should stay calm." Liu Xiu took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, he can't enter Kunyang City." Liu Bowen said confidently.

"Sir, if you have any clever plans, you might as well say it bluntly." Liu Xiu hurriedly asked.

"You're like this," Liu Bowen whispered in his ear.

"Brilliant plan!" Liu Xiu was overjoyed.

Immediately summoned Zhang Liao and Ran Min, made them the commanders of the cavalry, and immediately led the men and horses of the headquarters to Chang'an.

It was also rumored that Liu Jia came to meet him and made him a special envoy to Hebei and Shandong.

In order to better resist the enemy's attack, Liu Xiu ordered the entire city to strengthen the city's defenses.

At the same time, offensive and defensive weapons such as rolling stones, logs, and butter were prepared, and the city gate was thickened and reinforced, and jacks were installed.

......

In order to fight the Kunyang defensive battle, Liu Xiu made every effort to prepare for mobilization before the war.

I only hope to buy time for the long-distance attacks of Ran Min and Zhang Liao, and create favorable conditions.

Fifteen days later, Wang Lin's army joined forces with Wang Yi and Wang Xun under the city of Kunyang, and the army of 800,000 was huge.

"Can we win?"

"Yes! Although Kunyang City is strong, it may not be able to withstand the continuous attack of nearly a million troops. Sooner or later, the city will be broken! ”

"Leave it to fate." Pessimism spreads throughout the city.

......

An army of 800,000 was encamped under the city, with no end in sight.

A Hu bed with three walls and a roof was carried by several wrestlers to a position 2,000 meters below the city.

There is a noble son who is half lying and half lying on it, and at this time let the wrestlers around him shout.

"My master, please come and talk about it." The earth-shattering shouts clearly reached the ears of Liu Xiu and the others from afar.

"May I speak?" Liu Xiu was a little confused.

What tricks does this Wang Lin want to play?

"My master, please come and talk about it!" Lux repeated.

"If you want stage fright, it's very shameless, not to mention that the soldiers of the three armies are watching it." Liu Xiu ignored everyone's dissuasion, and also asked people to prepare a Hu bed, and let Lux escort him to the city gate.

It just echoes Wang Linyao.

"I don't know Your Excellency, but the current crown prince is coming?" Liu Xiu wanted to confirm the identity of this person in person.

"In the next king's lin, Mr. Jiuyang's name. This time, the teacher moved the crowd to come, not for anything else, just to see Mr. 's demeanor. Wang Lin got off the sedan chair, walked seven or eight hundred meters, and got a stool to sit down.

Liu Xiu also learned from him, kept a safe distance of 500 meters from him, and continued to chat: "My Uncle Liu Wen is just an ordinary man, and it is not worth His Highness to fight for me." ”

"That's a mistake, you and I are not enemies, but confidants." The bewitching maid beside her fed the grapes to Wang Lin with her slender jade hands.

This kid really enjoys life!

"Why?" Liu Xiuqi said.

"If I'm not mistaken, my husband and I are of the same origin, from the same vein, and drink the same river water." Wang Lin's words surprised Liu Xiu.

This kind of remark is not obvious to ordinary people.

But Liu Xiu, who is also a traveler in later generations, understood the meaning of Wang Lin's words: he and Liu Xiu are both from the earth, living in the 21st century, both descendants of Yan and Huang, and they both grew up drinking the water of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

"Your Highness is right! I don't know how you see the situation in the world? Liu Xiu was testing Wang Lin.

Wang Lin was also testing Liu Xiu, only to see him speak slowly: "Instead of fighting and losing, it is better to row the river and rule, I don't know what Mr. wants?" ”

Wang Lin's meaning was very clear, hoping to guard the territory and share the world with Liu Xiu.

"Has Your Highness ever heard a word?" Liu Xiuxiao asked.

"Please give me advice!" Wang Lin said politely, eating grapes in his mouth and spitting out grape skins.

"The ancients: The general trend of the world, if you join for a long time, you will divide it, and if you divide it for a long time, you will join it..."

Wang Lin said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. is wrong, it is a long time to be together, a long time must be divided, sooner or later the family will be separated, and it is better to divide later than to divide early." ”

"I don't agree with His Highness's point of view, I hope that the world will be unified and the people will live and work in peace and contentment." Liu Xiu insisted.

"Brother speaks straight, you are pedantic. But the days of pleasure have to be squeezed into the pile of the dead. Fighting wars is for pleasure, and not fighting wars is also for pleasure? Why do you have to fight, it's endless! Wang Lin recounted his logic.

"Since Your Highness has said so, I would like to ask, where do you want to be bounded?"

"The common sense that you and I both know, just take the Qinling Huai River as the boundary, the north belongs to me, and the south is up to you!"

Liu Xiu understood that this guy wanted to use the geographical dividing line between the north and the south to divide the territory and sphere of influence of the two sides.

"The north belongs to me, can you go to the south?" Liu Xiu is not a fool, more than 2,000 years ago, most of the vast southern areas were sparsely populated barren land.

"This can't work, the north is my new territory, and it is impossible to give it to others." Wang Lin directly refused.

"Not negotiable?"

"Not negotiable!" Wang Lin's tone was resolute.

"That's up to each person." Liu Xiu knew that the talks had collapsed.

"Brother, I don't care, I'm afraid you can't afford to lose." Wang Lin hugged the beauties around him in his arms and teased them from time to time.

"Then let's fight!"

"Then brother is going to attack the city later." Wang Lin said with a hippie smile.

Liu Xiu and Wang Lin returned to the formation respectively.

Liu Xiu climbed the city tower and looked at the gray and crushing army under the city, and his head hurt a little!

"The three armies are on alert, and the departments are ready to fight!" Liu Xiu opened his throat and shouted.

"Swear to share the glory and disgrace with the general!"

"Swear to live and die with Kunyang!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.
