Halfway through the first month, the flames of war in Kanto spread rapidly over time.

On the first day of the first lunar month, he raised troops in Guangling, and around noon on the fourth day of the first lunar month, he led his army to cross the Huaishui River and join Liu Wu, the king of Chu, but he was not in a hurry to turn the road to the west;

Instead, such a letter, or '檄文,' was sent to the hands of every clan prince in the Kanto region.

The content of the '檄文' is written like this;

- Liu Bi, the king of Wu, respectfully asked the kings of Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, Zichuan, Jinan, Zhao, Chu, Huainan, Hengshan, Lujiang, and the son of the late king of Changsha:

I heard that the traitorous ministers were wrong, and they did not have any credit to the world, but wanted to encroach on the land of the princes, and the envoys sent by the princes to the imperial court from all over the country were all detained and questioned by this bureaucracy.

From this point of view, Huang Cuo focused on insulting the princes as a matter of ability, and did not treat the flesh and blood of the Liu family with the etiquette that should be treated by the princes and kings, and wanted to exterminate the heroes of the first emperor, and then let the villain who was used as a chaos to confuse the world and put the society in crisis.

And now, His Majesty is frail and sickly, and his morale is too depressed to perceive this clearly.

Therefore, I think of the soldiers killing the thieves, I don't know if it is possible, but the widow will listen to everyone's advice.

Although our country is small, it also has 3,000 miles of land;

Although the population is small, it can also raise 500,000 elite soldiers.

The widows have always been kind to South Vietnam for more than 30 years, and their chiefs will send their soldiers to follow the widows, so that they can get another 300,000 troops.

Although the widow is not talented, he is willing to follow the princes in person.

Nanyue was close to Changsha, and because the king of Changsha had pacified the area north of Changsha, they could go west to Bashu and Hanzhong.

He sent someone to tell the king of Nanyue, the king of Chu, and the three kings of Huainan to attack west with the widows.

After the princes and kings of Qi and King Zhao pacified Hejian and Hanoi together, some of them could enter the Linjin Pass; Some can meet with the widow in Luoyang.

King Yan and King Zhao used to have an appointment with the Hu people - after King Yan was in the Beiping Dynasty and Yunzhong, he led the Hu people to enter Xiao Pass and march to Chang'an to correct the world and stabilize the temple of Emperor Gao.

I hope that everyone will encourage you to do it.

The son of King Chu Yuan, as well as the three kings of Huainan, some have not been valued by the court for a long time, and their hatred for the court has been deep in the bone marrow, and they have been looking for an opportunity to breathe this breath for a long time.

But the widow did not get the will of the princes and kings, and did not dare to act on his own.

Now, if you can continue to survive the extinct and extinct society, help the weak and the strong, and stabilize the Liu family, this is what we all want to see.

Although our country is poor, it has been working day and night for more than 30 years to save money and accumulate money, repair weapons and armor, and accumulate food.

All these efforts are for the sake of this uprising, and I hope you will apply it well.

Anyone who can win the enemy's generals will be rewarded with 5,000 catties of gold and sealed 10,000 households;

Those who behead the enemy generals will be rewarded with 3,000 catties of gold and sealed 5,000 households;

Those who behead the enemy and the generals will be rewarded with 1,000 catties of gold and 2,000 households;

Whoever kills an official who eats 2,000 stones, will be rewarded with 1,000 gold and sealed 1,000 households;

All those who have meritorious service are all made marquis.

Those who come to surrender with an army or a city, and a soldier of 10,000 soldiers, or a city of 10,000 households, are rewarded as if they were the enemy's generals;

and those who have five thousand men shall be rewarded as if they were the generals of the enemy;

and he that hath three thousand men shall receive the same reward as the adversary's generals;

and he that of a thousand households shall receive the same reward as the enemy of two thousand stones.

Minor officials receive knighthood bounties based on the difference in official positions.

This kind of reward is multiplied by the common law of the Han Dynasty; Those who already have a title will only add another fiefdom, and will not increase it as a result of the old fiefdom.

I hope that you will clearly announce to the scholars and doctors, do not deceive them, the money of the widow is everywhere in the world, and it is not necessary to come to Wu to collect it, you will not be able to use it day and night.

Whoever has something to give, tell the widow, and the widow will give it to him himself.

I sincerely hope that everyone will know about these things······

When the 'text' came out, it was like a bombshell, smashing the originally calm public opinion of the world into one big hole after another!

For the princes of all clans, whether they planned to raise troops or not, when they heard Liu Bi say, 'Everyone is against you, and you are the only one', they all became anxious without exception.

Except for Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Liu Deng, the acting king, almost all the other clan princes were frightened by the scene described by Liu Bi.

- Big guys, it's all the other way around?

- I'm the only one left?

- How is this, how is it······

Especially after learning that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, had gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses of the State of Wu and found 300,000 soldiers and horses of South Vietnam as foreign aid, even these princes and princes who did not intend to rebel or did not plan to respond to Liu Bi at the first time couldn't help but be a little shaken.

500,000 Wu soldiers, 300,000 Yue soldiers, plus Liu Wu, the king of Chu······

This is an army of millions!

Although the big guys know in their hearts that the number given by Liu Bi is somewhat watery, since Liu Bi dares to shout out, even if there is water, it will not be too much water.

- The soldiers and horses of the State of Wu, who are known as 500,000, must have 200,000 or 300,000;

The South Vietnamese soldiers and horses, who claim to be 300,000, no matter how few, there must always be 108,000.

In addition, Liu Wu, the king of Chu, who has already converged with Liu Wei, no matter how he is, he can come up with more than a dozen soldiers and horses.

In this way, even if the water is squeezed out, the army under Liu Bi's control has reached a staggering more than 400,000 troops!

Especially in the 'inscription' of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, almost all the clan princes and princes were forcibly pulled into the water.

- The Wu clan of Changsha, the king of Changsha, who has been eliminated from the country, was described by Liu Wei as a partial army that 'pacified the north of Changsha and attacked Bashu and Hanzhong';

The King of Yan and the King of Zhao on the side wall obviously have not made any promises to Liu Biao, but they are also described by Liu Biao's 'Letter' as another partial army that 'has already discussed with the Huns and can send troops to support our department at any time'.

As for Liu Wu, the king of Chu, and Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, not to mention - after the letter was issued, these two people can be regarded as completely confirmed the identity of the 'traitor'.

The most important thing is that even the three clan princes of the Huainan system were described by Liu Wei as 'having made an agreement with me a long time ago, and they will join me soon'.

But the fact is: the three princes and kings of the Huainan system, one is riding the wall, one is under house arrest by the prime minister, and the other has already gone to Chang'an to complain······

"How?"

"Does the King of Chu think that there is anything wrong with this letter sent by the widow?"

The capital of Chu, Pengcheng.

Sitting in the palace opposite Liu Wu, the king of Chu, watching Liu Wu pick up the letter and check it repeatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more strange his face became, Liu Wei couldn't help but smile easily, and asked a question.

But when Liu Wu heard this, his face only became more and more strange;

Looking at Liu Bi's gaze, there was a sudden hint of distrust.

Inappropriate?

- What's wrong with it?!

- This is simply a rhetoric!!

The army is mixed with water, and 300,000 or 400,000 is said to be millions, not to mention this first;

After all, mixing water in the army has long been a tacit understanding between the two sides in the war.

But most of these 'friendly forces' mentioned by Liu Wei in the article have not yet moved!

It's hard to know for sure that there will be no action, even if there will be action!

With just a few words, it is really not counterproductive to 'force these clan princes and princes who have not yet officially started their troops to rebel'?

Seeing the undisguised look of loneliness in Liu Wu's gaze towards him, Liu Wei couldn't help but be a little stunned;

After thinking about it for a moment, he finally shook his head and smiled bitterly, letting out a slightly heavy lament.

"The King of Chu doesn't know;"

"This incident, the reaction of the Chang'an court is too fast······"

"——The army of Wu led by the widow has just crossed the Huaishui, and before he has time to join the king of Chu, the counterinsurgency army of the court has already left Hangu Pass!"

"When the widow arrived in Pengcheng and had just met with the King of Chu, before they had time to discuss the next march route, the court army that came out of Hangu Pass had already occupied several important places first."

"——Empress Dowager Dou's nephew, Dou Ying, was appointed as a general, leading more than 100,000 elites in Guanzhong, and has been stationed in Xingyang;"

"—Qu Zhou Hou Liji, appointed as a general, also led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and besieged King Zhao in Handan City in the name of 'assisting King Zhao in garrisoning the border wall';"

"Even Wuguan has been led by the servant Liu She's army of more than 100,000 people, and several lines of defense have been set up inside and outside, so that Wuguan has completely lost the possibility of being breached······"

With Liu Bi's low and serious tone, the face of Liu Wu, the king of Chu, also sank;

But Liu Bi's interpretation of the situation is still not over.

"——Li Ji led the army to besiege Handan, and on the side of King Zhao, we can't count on it;"

"And King Zhao will not rebel, King Yan will never rebel."

"If Yan and Zhao don't rebel, the Huns won't be able to enter the customs······"

"—There are also the seven kings of the Qi family, who originally said that they would raise troops together, but when the matter came, three of them retreated;"

"Especially the King of Qi, he completely gave up the idea of raising troops, and built Linzi, the capital of Qi, into an extremely strong city."

"Therefore, the entire Qi system, we, can't count on ······"

"—Coupled with the three kings of the Huainan system, the king of Huainan was relieved of his military power by Zhang Shizhi, the minister of state, and placed under house arrest in the palace;"

"Liu Bo, the king of Hengshan, went to Chang'an on the second day after the widow raised troops in Guangling."

"There is only one Lujiang king left, Liu Ci, but he still has an ambiguous attitude, that is, he does not want to fight, and he does not refuse ······"

As he spoke, Liu Bi's face finally sank completely.

"Before the incident, I had won the support of at least ten clan princes;"

"But now, there is only one king of Chu who is willing to raise troops to respond."

"If the widow doesn't issue such a document to force all the clansmen to work together and raise troops together, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with the already prepared and incomparably powerful Chang'an court······

The words full of worry came out, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu, had a grim look on his face;

Although he did not show the intention of retreating, the anxious look was enough to explain everything.

But what Liu Wu didn't notice was that the grim look on Liu Bi's face, the king of Wu, was even stronger than his own uneasiness······

——As a second-generation gentleman who fights cocks and lackeys, eats and waits for death, Liu Wu actually didn't understand Liu Bi's views too clearly.

Liu Wu only vaguely realized that the rebellion that he thought was easy and freehand seemed to have become a little tricky.

But it is different from the second generation of gentlemen like Liu Wu: Liu Bi was by the side of Emperor Taizu Gao, went to the battlefield and killed enemy generals;

Even the prince of King Wu was obtained by Liu Wei in exchange for martial arts, not by Liu Wu, who inherited it by blood.

Therefore, Liu Bi has an extremely clear understanding of the current situation.

The current situation is terrible!

According to Liu Bi's original plan, after the start of the war, the world should have been divided into two camps that were not equal to each other in an extreme period of time.

That is: the Chang'an court, which was supported by the acting king and the king of Liang, as well as all the other clan princes headed by Liu Bi!

Even on this basis, it is necessary to add another 'Huns' as a variable, so that Liu Bi can guarantee that the power he has is roughly five or five different from that of the Chang'an court.

But after the actual army, the situation Liu Bi faced far exceeded Liu Bi's expectations, and it was completely out of Liu Bi's previous plan.

- King Zhao, who was supposed to lead the Huns south, and by the way brought the king of Yan to raise troops together, was besieged in his capital;

——The Seven Kings of the Qi Dynasty, who should have quickly dispatched troops to join him, started an unattainable battle outside Linzi City.

In addition, Liu Bi did not have expectations, but in the end, Liu Bi still felt extremely disappointed by the three kings of the Huainan system······

It is no exaggeration to say: At present, only Wu and Chu are the only ones who really raise troops against Chang'an!

But even if the soldiers and horses of Wu and Chu converged, Liu Bi at this time really didn't know which direction he should go next······

"Too fast······"

"Chang'an's reaction is too fast······"

"-Even to the point where the widow has not yet raised his army, and has not yet killed the messenger of the Son of Heaven, the army of Chang'an has already reached the level of Hangu Pass?"

Slightly surprised, Liu Bi couldn't help but shake his head again;

When Liu Bi raised his head and looked at Liu Wu in front of him again, Liu Bi's face gradually appeared with an unprecedented grim color.

"The letter has been issued, but it is still unknown how many princes will be able to respond with troops;"

"Right now, the army of the king of Chu and the widows can no longer stay in Chu."

"——We raised our troops, originally to take advantage of the gap when Chang'an couldn't react and didn't have time to mobilize the army, and quickly captured important towns like Suiyang and Luoyang!"

"But right now, the army of the Chang'an court is obviously moving faster than us."

"King Zhao in the north can't be counted on, and the Wuguan in the south of Guanzhong has no possibility of breaking through;"

"Therefore, if the king of Chu is willing, I want to send troops immediately, lead the armies of Wu and Chu, and approach the Liang State!"

"Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is the favorite son of the Queen Mother and the only younger brother of the Emperor Chang'an."

"Suiyang City, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, has been painstakingly operated by the Chang'an court for many years, and it wants to prevent us from breaking through the important city of Hangu!"

"I heard that the three armies sent by Chang'an went to Zhao State, Xingyang, and Wuguan respectively;"

"And Suiyang, the capital of the Liang Kingdom, the Chang'an court did not send reinforcements."

"As long as we can quickly advance westward, go straight to Suiyang City, fight a decisive battle with King Liang, and finally break through Suiyang City and capture King Liang alive, no matter how strong the Chang'an court is, it will still not be able to stop the shock in Guanzhong!"

"At that time, our business will have the possibility of success······"

Liu Bi persuaded him earnestly, but Liu Wu frowned for a while, and almost wanted to speak, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing this, Liu Bi couldn't help but feel anxious, but on his face, he pretended to be extremely sad.

"At this point, King Chu, do you still have to hesitate?"

"At such a moment of life and death, does the king of Chu still have to wait for the army of Chang'an to come to the city in Pengcheng······

The tone full of sadness finally made Liu Wu's face full of hesitation appear a little moved.

But soon, I saw Liu Wu standing up with irritability, and patted his thigh as if he was embarrassed.

"What King Wu means, of course the widow understands!"

"But King Wu, you have to let the widow think about it again and discuss it with his subordinates?"

was full of tangled words, but it only caused Liu Wei to smile bitterly and shake his head;

got up, stared deeply at Liu Wu, then arched his hand towards Liu Wu, and let out a long sigh leisurely.

"Since this is the case, the widow understands what the king of Chu means."

"The widow led the army to retreat and fled to the land of Baiyue in Lingnan to see if he could find a way to survive."

"—King Chu, there is no need to be distressed by this matter anymore;"

"There is no need to gather courtiers to discuss the next matter."

"You only need to be like a widow and find a piece of feng shui treasure land for yourself in advance to bury yourself, and you are already the only thing that the king of Chu can do······"

said this with a sad voice, and Liu Wei bowed his hand to Liu Wushen;

Without waiting for Liu Wu to react, he saw Liu Bi resolutely get up and walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

"King Wu!"

"Don't be in a hurry to !!"

Seeing that Liu Bi was leaving, Liu Wu came back from his stunned stupor, and looked at Liu Bi with a gaze full of horror!

"Is the situation really so grim?"

"It's already to the point where King Wu wants to give up this matter and run to the wild land of Lingnan in despair to seek a way to survive?"

Hearing the sound behind him, Liu Bi did not turn around, but raised his head and raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh.

"The court of Chang'an, it is very likely that we were prepared for war in advance before we got into trouble."

"-We've lost the opportunity;"

"If you don't speed up and strive to arrive in Suiyang as soon as possible, then the widow may not survive this summer······"

The low and mournful tone, the back of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, became more and more lonely and vicissitudes at this moment;

And Liu Wu, the king of Chu, finally made up his mind long ago after Liu Bi's desperate lamentation······

"Widow, I understand what King Wu means."

"Widow, listen to King Wu!"

saw Liu Wu say something in a deep voice, and nodded heavily towards Liu Wei's back;

After Liu Wei turned around in a suspicious manner, Liu Wu slowly leaned down and took out a jade seal wrapped in red cloth from his arms.

"This is the talisman of my Chu State."

"With this talisman, all the troops of the Chu State, King Wu, can be commanded like an arm."

"—a widow, not very good at things between the ranks;"

"Today, the widow entrusts all the troops of the Chu State to the hands of King Wu."

"I hope that King Wu will not live up to the trust of the widow······"

The power went out last night until 4 o'clock this afternoon······

There will be a second update later, and it is more likely to be after 12 o'clock.

- If there is no power today······
