The light of day dawned.

When Liu Xiu appeared in front of the army on horseback, with several arrows stuck in his armor, covered in blood, the shock was indescribable.

The clatter of horses' hooves knocked on everyone's hearts, Liu Xiu didn't close his eyes all night, and the exhaustion in his body swept out from the deepest part, but his spirit was lifted to the extreme.

Four years!

How much wind and rain, wearing the stars and the moon, the crisis of life and death, is completed today.

He walked through the elite armor, dark armor, and red scarf, with a solemn beauty, and then raised the blood-stained sword high, and shouted: "King Su is above!" ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums sounded, and countless voices shouted in unison, "King Su is above!" ”

The voices came and went, and they spread to an unknown place, Liu Xiu drew his sword and looked around, setting his eyes on Chang'an, Guanzhong, thousands of miles away.

Who can stop me?

……

As soon as the imperial army collapsed, the dead and wounded aside, those defeated soldiers panicked to the extreme, scattered and fled, and some of them were gathered up and retreated to Guanzhong.

Part of it goes to the various counties, Luoyang happens to be in the middle of the world, extending in all directions, and can pass between the world.

Rebels are one of the most terrifying things in the world, especially a group of rebels with a broken mentality, not to mention the elite of the armed forces, who can almost turn a stable area into a hell on earth in a short period of time.

As the rout scattered, the news of the defeat of the imperial court spread to the world.

The ripple effect is too great!

Although the imperial army was defeated in the hands of Liu Xiu, this can only prove that Liu Xiu is stronger in terms of both life and ability.

But the Han dynasty relied on the elite of Guanzhong to suppress the world, and now it is falling apart, and it needs time to rebuild the most, but it has no time.

There's a word in this world called resurgence!

Not to mention that the righteous army is not dead, but it is just weak, the peasant army is an organization, as long as the world is still in chaos, the source of soldiers will be endless, there are big thieves in the counties of Jingzhou, invading Nanyang County, and there are even people in Guanzhong who take the opportunity to make trouble and take advantage of the fire.

Liu Xiu stayed between Yingchuan, sorting out the rapidly expanding forces, although he defeated the imperial army, Liu Xiu's military strength was still not enough to rule alone.

Then a shocking piece of news spread along the waters of Iro.

A rebel army from Jingzhou named Green Forest broke through from Wuguan to Guanzhong!

That is where the Han family flourished, and all the tombs of the first emperors were in Guanzhong!

Liu Xiu was about to jump up, his face was full of murderous energy, and he was about to send troops with his sword.

Then he was directly blocked back by his subordinate Zuochen.

"General, the overall situation is important, and now that our foundation is not stable, we will rashly start the war again, and drive thousands of miles away to the enemy's country, isn't this self-destruction?

Besides, if they are just bandits, can the imperial court still be able to exterminate them?

Even if Yu Linwei does not exist in ten, it is still not a problem to destroy the bandits. ”

Some of these people sincerely persuaded Liu Xiu to put the overall situation first, and some of them had ghosts in their hearts, wishing that Guanzhong would be stirred up by the rebels, so that they could openly ask Liu Xiu to focus on the Kanto region.

Where the enemy country is!

Hearing these four words, Liu Xiu was silent, he was a descendant of the Liu family, and as a result, Guanzhong Chang'an turned out to be the location of the enemy country, which is simply the greatest irony in the world.

……

Changan.

Almost everyone didn't expect that it was not Liu Xiu who entered Chang'an, but the thief, and if there was a choice, they still hoped that Liu Xiu would be able to come in.

After all, Liu Xiu is a member of the Han family, and it is said that he is a loyal and meticulous person.

They are all ministers of the Han family, even if the defeated party is guilty, at most one is a dereliction of duty, as long as they commit suicide, the whole family can at least be saved.

But the thief is a direct relationship that never dies.

When Rocky heard the news, the pen in his hand fell straight down, and large swaths of ink smeared on the white paper.

He couldn't speak, and the news seemed to come together, which made Luo Qi feel like he was being made by providence.

Since he came out to help the Han Dynasty, he has been reluctant to be a pastemaker, he wants to really continue his life for a dynasty for fifty years!

But one thunder after another exploded, proving that he was not the kind of ancestor who could save the sky.

If he was completely in charge, he might still be able to become a qualified pastemaker, but assisting Wang Mang was the biggest mistake he made.

A loud knock sounded on the door, Zhao Hede walked in quickly, her face was full of panic, she even carried a small exquisite dagger in her hand, and when she saw Luo Qi, she ran straight over, "Good man, the rebel army in Kanto has entered Guanzhong, and Yu Linwei has fallen in Guandong." ”

Zhao Hede was influenced by Luo Qi and has always called it the Righteous Army, but what kind of virtue those Righteous Army are, Zhao Hede is very clear, there are not many people with military discipline, rape and plunder, all evil, and those most corrupt magnates are no different.

It can be said that these former poor people who did evil and those wealthy and powerful people are essentially the same kind of people.

There is no story of a dragon slayer turning into a dragon.

Because the dragon slayer is just a disguise, and under that human skin is an ugly evil dragon, and the reason why he is bound in human skin is because he does not have enough strength.

Man is man, and an evil dragon is an evil dragon.

The reason why a saint is holy is because he has a human heart, and no matter how powerful he is, he will not turn into an evil dragon.

There are very few such people, and there are not many people who have seen them in the millennium, because the most critical point of the saint is to be cautious.

Many people can maintain a high moral level in good circumstances, but saints can stick to their hearts in any environment!

Zhao Hede knows very well how beautiful he is, and he also knows what kind of disaster his beauty will bring.

Luo Qi looked at Zhao Hede's expression, and knew what she was worried about, he looked into his wife's eyes, and said seriously: "Madam, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhao Hede held the dagger tightly in his hand and wept and said: "Don't worry about the concubine, you will definitely be worry-free if you have a husband in the concubine, but what should my sister do?"

She is the queen mother, the last person to be let go of the rebels.

The concubine even thought about living in the palace instead of her sister, anyway, no one in this world can distinguish our sisters, and the husband left with my sister, they must think that my sister is me. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hede's eyes became more and more dim, "Now the dare warriors and Yu Linwei are not in Beijing." ”

Luo Qi laughed angrily when she heard this, and interrupted: "Madam, what are you talking about, do you think that without the dare warrior and Yu Linwei, there is nothing to be done for the husband?"

There are still tens of thousands of guards in Chang'an, look at it, there are no dare soldiers, and the husband can still annihilate the enemy army! ”

The speed at which the rebel army grew was so fast that wherever it passed, it would soon become a new source of troops, like a locust crossing the border, dealing a great blow to the economy.

And as long as the rebel army passes by, the ruling order of the imperial court will definitely collapse, which is an extremely vicious circle.

……

There were corpses everywhere Luo Qi wiped the dripping blood, surrounded by awe-inspiring eyes, Luo Qi was allowed to leave Luo Shi because he was a civil and military all-rounder.

It's just that Luo Shi prefers to play the role of a civilian official for generals, so Luo Qi has always shown his civilian side.

Chang'an is as stable as Mount Tai!

Chang'an is in danger!

This is what Luo Qi thinks now, he can defeat those rebels again and again, but the rebels can come back again and again, and the children of the Guanzhong counties are either in Kanto or are coerced by the rebels.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

If you want to reorganize the order, it will take at least a few months, and after this time, the imperial court will continue to gain strength from the Guanzhong counties.

If you can't hold on, then you will die violently.

In the Weiyang Palace.

With the passing of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Feiyan finally moved into this palace, and now the roles between Wang Mang and Luo Qi have gradually reversed.

Luo Qi walked into the hall, all the ministers were here, the expressions on each face were not very good, and when he saw Luo Qi walk in, a group of people immediately surrounded him, and asked gossipily: "Childe, how is the situation in the counties around Chang'an?" ”

Wang Mang stood in the corner without saying a word, and Luo Qi bowed to Zhao Feiyan and said, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

The last powerful rebel army around Chang'an was exterminated, and the minister thought that the chaos was caused by the deliberate indulgence of those who were in the process of restructuring and whose interests were damaged.

The minister thought it should be ......"

Before Luo Qi finished speaking, Zhao Feiyan said directly: "It's all up to Gongzi to decide, I have all my support, and now the imperial court is in danger, and we all rely on Gongzi to cheer up, so that we can sit in Chang'an."

If the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done.

I appointed Gongzi as the general of the Great Sima and was in charge of all the affairs of the Han Dynasty.

The former Great Sima General Mang was ill, so he could go back to his home to recuperate. ”

This sudden personnel change, but no one spoke, even Wang Mang opened his mouth and swallowed a few words, he is now discouraged, how much the scholars loved him at the beginning, and how much they hate him now.

……

Luo Qi followed Zhao Feiyan to the Queen Mother's bedroom, which was naturally not as prosperous and gorgeous as the Eternal Life Palace, but Zhao Feiyan gradually faded from the flashiness over the years.

As she grew older, she seemed to have washed away the lead, becoming more and more pure, and on her white and tender little face, even her innate charm and flamboyance were a little weaker.

"Wen Qi, like today's situation, what is going on?"

Zhao Feiyan's face was full of worry, and Luo Qi muttered: "Queen Mother, even if the rebel army is completely pacified, the potential of Guanzhong will be greatly reduced, and the forces that the imperial court can control will be greatly weakened.

If Liu Xiu from Kanto comes to attack, it will be difficult for us to resist, but our advantage is also here.

Why didn't Liu Xiu say that he wanted to clear the monarch's side like the four kings of Zhao, Chu, Liang, and Jiaodong?

Because Liu Xiu is supported by five surnames and seven families, these seven families are different from other liehous, and they will never directly oppose the imperial court.

They helped Liu Xiu because Liu Xiu's surname was Liu and he was capable.

As long as Liu Xiu is here, the country of this Han dynasty will not fall into the hands of foreign surnames, such as Wang Mang, such as the Zhao family where the Queen Mother is located. ”

Zhao Feiyan was a little stunned when she heard this.

Luo Qi said again: "Since these families recognize the legitimacy of the imperial court, then Liu Xiu will not attack directly.

But this state of affairs will not last long, because Liu Xiu has grown rapidly, and other forces have joined.

These forces do not care about the goals of the five surnames and seven families, and they are likely to encourage Liu Xiu, and if Liu Xiu does not see a new method for a long time, he will definitely take risks. ”

"Is there no way to resist Liu Xiu?"

Luo Qi said softly when he heard this: "Bashu is locked up, Wuguan has been broken, Nanyang County is chaotic, the retreat route to the south has been cut off, and in addition to Liu Xiu's forces, there are many other warlords large and small in the land of Three Rivers.

The imperial court now only has one Guanzhong left, which is becoming dilapidated and weak, but it is enough to resist Liu Xiu.

The minister not only has the talent of a general, but also the ability to be vertical and horizontal.

can make Liu Xiu shed blood before this dangerous hurdle, after all, defense is much easier to do than offense, but what is the need?

It can't change the final outcome, it just increases the casualties. ”

Zhao Feiyan knew what Luo Qi meant, this kind of civil war between Zhuxia was not what he wanted.

Not to mention a war that costs a lot and still loses in the end.

Zhao Feiyan smiled a little miserably: "Does Wen Qi want to defect to Liu Xiu?"

It's good.

Take Hede, I'm the queen mother after all, just let me stay here. ”

Luo Qi shook his head and said, "Although the minister admits that Liu Xiu is a hero, I will never defect to him, even if I have just walked out of the family."

Liu Xiu and I have different philosophies.

Although Wang Mang and I are drifting apart now, suppressing Haoqiang is still what I have to do, and the method of compromising between Liu Xiu and Haoqiang in exchange for peace in the world is something I am unwilling to do.

How could I not know this method! ”

……

"Boom!"

The corpse fell like a dumpling, blood bloomed in it, and it was another wave of useless siege, and the face of the general in charge of the siege turned black.

Next to him, there was a man decorated by a scholar who sneered: "How is this Luo Wenqi? Is what I said false? ”

Hearing this, the black-faced man glared at the gentleman fiercely, and said angrily: "Report to the general quickly, what should I do?" ”

What to do?

This is also Liu Xiu's problem, the Luo Shizi, who served as the general of the Great Sima, really made him have nowhere to start, so he had no choice but to invite Yinghou Luozhong and asked: "Yinghou, what can I do about it!"

Is it really necessary to storm day and night, and exhaust blood in the great battle with the imperial court?

The world has not yet been pacified, and there are many separatists, if the blood is shed in the confrontation with the imperial court, it is really painful for the relatives, and the enemies are fast.

What Xiu is most worried about is that if the casualties are too heavy, the generals under his command will be angry, and after entering Chang'an, I am afraid that I will do a big disrespectful thing, if the queen mother has three longs and two shorts, how will the people of the world treat me Liu Xiu? ”

Luo Zhong smiled slightly: "General, although Zhong has not been in the family for a long time, Wen Qi still knows it very well, what he is doing now is to let the general listen to him, I am afraid that he has the heart to talk to the general." ”

Peace talks?

Liu Xiu's eyes lit up, I see, it's good to talk about peace!

"Please also ask Yinghou to talk about Luo Wenqi for the show."

Three days later, a letter sent from Chang'an appeared in front of Liu Xiu.

"The two sides take Luoshui as an oath and must not be violated.

Stop the war.

Liu Xiu must not kill by any means, the following list of 142 people.

The Emperor was deposed without virtue.

Liu Xiu became the heir of Emperor Xiaoxi, that is, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Mang was exiled to Daxianbei Mountain in Liaodong and was not allowed to return.

Luo Qi was named the Marquis of Nanchang, and his family moved to Nanchang County, Yuzhang County.

The Empress Dowager Zhao was not allowed to govern, and her relatives Zhao moved to Yuzhang County together, and the marquis of Haidun was hereditary. ”

Very lenient terms for both parties.

It's over.

It's over.

————

From Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu taking over the emperor crown of the Han Dynasty to his complete pacification of the world and then inheriting the throne of the Son of Heaven, a total of ten years, a new Han Dynasty appeared in the land of Zhuxia.

The Han Dynasty seems to be back on track, but everyone knows that everything is different.

The reason for the collapse of the old Han Dynasty was attributed to the moral problems and competence of the ruling class, but the real reason was ignored by the Han Dynasty officials, which was an innate evil.

The "Guangwu Zhongxing", which was talked about by ancient historians, was in essence a big gamble that the founding nobles were unwilling to accept the collapse of the dynasty and the decline of the family, and did their best.

This is similar to the "Battle of Jingjing", but the difference is that the power of the founding nobles has been greatly weakened, and the loyalty and justice of the ancestors have been lost.

The Han Dynasty, which was like a great sun, could never come back. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
