For the guy who can't wait to enjoy the reincarnation service, Xu Huang has nothing to say, so he can only send the news back to the imperial court as soon as possible to let Liu Bei know, so that Liu Bei can come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Then he himself continued to lead his troops all the way in the direction of Ganling, intending to seal his mouth before Liu Zhong made a more heartless speech, otherwise this wave of Jizhou may really have to "change blood".

When Xu Huang led the army to gallop forward, Liu Zhong was thinking about the future "strategic plan".

Liu Zhong was very proud of the victory in the battle of ousting Shi Yiguan, and the success of his own conspiracy also made him the greatest contributor to the victory in the Battle of Ganling, and was respected by all the leaders of the rebels who participated in the war, and everyone unanimously agreed to support Liu Zhong as their leader and pay allegiance to Liu Zhong.

They said that the big guys are all gathered together to oppose Dutian Ling, although it is very righteous to do so, but in the end there is a lack of a righteous name, and now Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, can be regarded as making up for everyone's righteous name, and they can call on the world to call on everyone to resist Liu Bei's tyranny.

They cried to Liu Zhong about the many humiliations and pain that Liu Bei brought to them, thinking that Liu Bei's promotion of the Dutian Order was to want their lives, and they actually wanted to whitewash this fateful policy, which was really shameless to the extreme, and they couldn't accept it no matter what.

Some people also said that everyone endured the slave restriction last time, and this time Liu Bei was even more excessive, if he continued to endure it, who knows if Liu Bei will have to make an inch and do what Emperor Xiaowu would do back then?

Everyone must work together to let Liu Bei know that Liu Che is not so easy to do, forcibly do Liu Che, do some things that anger and resent, be careful that even Liu Xiu can't do it!

In this regard, Liu Zhong agreed, Liu Zhong also thought that Liu Bei's operation was too reckless, completely harming the interests of the people in the world, and did not take into account how sad everyone's hearts were, it was simply that he felt that he was too strong, so he could be Liu Che, so everyone would give him a head-on blow and let him know how many catties and taels he had.

And more importantly, in this Ganling Alliance, in the face of a large group of people's bowing and "loyalty", Liu Zhong, who felt the honor and power he had never had before, quickly swelled.

He felt that he seemed to be very awesome, he had thousands of troops and horses all of a sudden, so many people listened to his orders, and he could order so many people to charge into battle, wouldn't he be very awesome?

Perhaps, it's time to do something you've wanted to do but haven't done yet.

If it is done, not to mention that the throne will be preserved, it is not impossible to imagine that other positions will be preserved!

So Liu Zhong began to think crookedly - he raised his doubts about Liu Bei's throne with ulterior motives.

He said that this was an instinctive suspicion of him as the king of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also a very deep concern of his opposition to Liu Bei, even if there was no Du Tian Ling, he felt that he would have a disagreement with Liu Bei in the end, and he was likely to stand on the opposite side of Liu Bei, because they were not essentially members of the same family.

Although the inheritance of the Eastern Han Dynasty throne does not attach much importance to the inheritance within a family, and sometimes it will be expanded to the selection of heirs within the clan, but if the distance is too far, it will definitely not be.

And on the one hand, he has the identity of the king of the sect, and on the other hand, he is far from Liu Bei in terms of blood relationship, he thinks that Liu Bei will not tolerate him to continue to be the king of the sect after all, so instead of waiting for Liu Bei's knife to cut over, it is better to cut it directly, let him see whose knife is sharper.

So at the meeting, Liu Zhong proposed that Liu Bei's throne was problematic, and it was very problematic, and he was unwilling to recognize Liu Bei's throne.

He wanted to do something special, such as replacing the original little emperor Liu Xie and something like that.

"Even if the first emperor has no son, the emperor's successor should be selected from the close branches of the imperial family, so as to convince the public, not to mention that the two sons of the first emperor are still alive at the moment, and the eldest son is guilty and cannot inherit the throne, but the second son is obviously the son of heaven, but he was deposed by Liu Bei, which is a pure usurpation.

In fact, before, many people suspected that Liu Bei was suspected of usurping the throne, following the story of Wang Mang, seizing the throne from the Empress Dowager, coercing and luring, forcing the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven to comply, doing things that would only be done by rebellion, and living up to the trust and expectations of the first emperor for him.

Everyone is a member of the Han Dynasty, and they are all people who are deeply favored by the first emperor, and now the son of the first emperor has been seized the throne by Liu Bei, and he has been humiliated and bullied by Liu Bei. If this is the case, what kind of face will we have to face the emperor after we die? ”

Liu Zhong's statement at that time frightened many people.

Because they didn't think to question Liu Bei's throne.

They are just against the Dutian Order, Liu Bei's rule is fundamentally not a big problem, and it can maintain stability, they like stability, they just don't like to pay taxes, as long as Liu Bei gives up the Dutian Order, don't hinder them from making money, they don't mind cooperating with Liu Bei in other aspects.

As for Liu Bei's throne, the people who should doubt it are almost suspicious, but the procedures are complete, the stamps are legal, and Luo Yang admits that the world is salty, even if there was a problem before, there is no problem now.

The crown prince is established, the country is stable, the inheritance is decent, and it is clearly announced to the world, what else is there to do?

Everyone just wanted to make Liu Bei soften from the economic issue, let him compromise, and then continue to live a good life, and never thought of vetoing Liu Bei's political identity fundamentally.

If he did this, Liu Bei would definitely give up all other illusions and worries, and directly incarnate the invincible general and fight with them, and they didn't feel that they needed to fight Liu Bei endlessly.

Isn't it okay to be able to return to the state of Emperor Guangwu's period?

But Liu Zhong didn't think so, he knew very well that these guys wanted to pull the banner to make tiger skins, and they elected him as the leader in order to use his identity and status to take the blame, and he just needed such a group of people to act as his thugs and enhance his strength.

Liu Zhong himself also knows that Liu Bei is very capable, he is a great person who can stabilize the world, for the people of the world, Liu Bei's ascension to the throne has maintained the stability of the world, then he is a qualified emperor, and no one wants to replace him.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Zhong wanted to call on the people of the world to defend his prince, but he was unknown.

But in this case, there are so many people who want to use his name to oppose Liu Bei's Dutian Order.

If you're going to use me, why can't I use you in reverse?

Liu Zhong persuaded everyone bitterly.

"Liu Bei is treacherous and cunning, even if he is soft for a while, in the long run, it must be a huge hidden danger, and now he is temporarily retreating, who dares to guarantee that he will not make a comeback in the future? And once we lose this opportunity at the moment, we may be defeated by him individually, find a reason to eliminate all of us, and then implement the Dutian Order.

So this time, no matter what, we must succeed, and we must not let Liu Bei have the opportunity to establish the Dutian Order, and the best way is to push Liu Bei off the throne, let the son of the first emperor be reinstated, and be the emperor again, so as to truly ensure that we will no longer have the trouble of Dutian. ”

In all fairness, what Liu Zhong said made sense, because even if Liu Bei relented for a while and gave up the Dutian order, it could not be said that he would really give up Dutian completely.

At that time, Liu Xiu was also Dutian, and the opposition he faced was too great, so he had to make some compromises in exchange for the stability of the world.

But in the years that followed, with the settlement of accounts after the autumn and the gradual consolidation of his position, he still promoted the implementation of the Dutian Decree in the Han Empire to a considerable extent.

Who dares to say that if Liu Bei doesn't do Dutian now, he will definitely not do it in the future?

It is also absolutely possible for him not to engage in it now, to retreat as advance, to continue to eliminate the people who are now against him in the years to come, and then to promote the Dutian Order after accumulating enough strength.

So if you really want to protect your property and interests, there is only one way.

Take advantage of Liu Bei's legal loophole as the emperor, fiercely attack his orthodox status, shake his position, lose the throne, and let Liu Xie be the emperor again, so that everyone's interests can be truly safeguarded.

Liu Zhong's words made many family representatives ponder, thinking that what Liu Zhong said was reasonable, if Liu Bei took retreat as advance, of course, the temporary victory would not last long.

Everyone has already done a rebellious thing, conquered the city, and killed a lot of people, who is sure that Liu Bei will not settle accounts after the autumn and fight a protracted war with everyone?

In that case, why can't we do something more explicit?

Fundamentally opposing the legitimacy of Liu Bei's ascension to the throne, overthrowing Liu Bei's regime, and supporting the regime that represents their own interests to take power, is the way to do it once and for all.

Such an idea swept through the rebels in a very short period of time, and except for a few families who panicked about it, most of the families were quite impressed, feeling that they had a good chance of winning at that time, and that a one-step solution to the problem should be negotiable.

For this special situation, only the Cui family, the Sun family, and the He family were frightened, and after all kinds of entanglement, they chose to secretly withdraw from the rebel alliance, and then turned south to find Shi Yiguan, wanting to surrender to Shi Yiguan and others, admit their mistakes, in exchange for their understanding, so as to strive for leniency after the war.

Against the Dutian order, they dare.

Questioning Liu Bei's throne, they didn't dare.

They felt that those people were simply stuffed with food in their stomachs, hindering their normal thinking ability, thinking that something else was bad, and they actually dared to question Liu Bei's throne, for fear that they would not die fast enough, right?

Liu Zhong didn't care about the withdrawal of a few cowards, because most of the people supported him, and compiled action slogans and political declarations for him, thus embarking on a road of no return.

Liu Zhong thought that he had reached the pinnacle of his life, but he did not expect that only six days after the release of this political declaration, the rebel army was defeated in the west of Ganling County, and was wiped out by more than 5,000 people by Xu Huang, the main general of the Han army, and now Xu Huang is coming in the direction of Ganling County with the main force of the Han army of more than 10,000 people.

A small defeat could not shake Liu Zhong's determination, nor could it shake the will of most of the guys who had already boarded the thief ship, they knew that they were already on the opposite side of Liu Bei, and at this point, in addition to victory, it was death.

Wealth and danger are sought, in this case, why not fight hard, in case of luck, you can mix the identity of the founding hero?

So under Liu Zhong's organization, this group of people carefully selected 30,000 elites from the 50,000 or 60,000 miscellaneous army to form the "Loyal and Righteous Army" directly led by Liu Zhong-

Liu Zhong personally named this army the Loyal and Righteous Army, saying that this was an army that fought desperately for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and such an army would definitely be able to fight for the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

And the members of the major families who participated in the Loyal and Righteous Army were also appointed by him as captains and lieutenant generals, and then 30,000 people left Ganling County and galloped directly towards Xu Huang to fight a serious battle with Xu Huang, and to fight with Xu Huang.

He believed that as long as he could defeat Xu Huang, he would be able to go further north, penetrate Jizhou, go to Liu Xie, let Liu Xie ascend the throne in Hebei, and call on the landlords and heroes of the entire Hebei to rise up to join the army and resist Liu Bei.

Liu Zhong believes that this is the path that can be achieved.

As for defeating Xu Huang, he felt that it was not impossible.

First of all, he has more soldiers and horses than Xu Huang, Xu Huang only has 10,000 people, he has 30,000 people, 30,000 against 10,000, and the advantage is mine.

Secondly, he waited for his work, Xu Huang came from afar, the division veterans were tired, there must be no combat effectiveness, and the advantage was mine.

Again, although Xu Huang has a prestige and is a battle-hardened general, Ganling Country is his home field, and the soldiers around him are all locals who are familiar with the terrain and climate, while the people brought by Xu Huang are all foreign soldiers, who are not familiar with the road of life, and they fight away from home, and they have a great disadvantage.

So, the advantage is still with me.

In this way, Liu Zhong thinks that he is a flying dragon riding face, and he wants to ask those guys who question his rashness, how can he lose?

Yes, some guys who are worried about Xu Huang's prestige feel that although Xu Huang only has 10,000 people, they should all be elite soldiers, and their own soldiers lack training and combat experience, and it is unwise to forcibly fight field battles with elite soldiers, and they should defend the city and force the Han army to attack the city, so as to gain time for the people of the world to respond.

As long as they can hold back Xu Huang's army, they can buy more time for other people who want to resist Liu Bei, and more and more people will stand up against Liu Bei, and at that time, no matter how much Liu Bei can fight, he will be forced to compromise.

Even eventual failure is not impossible.

However, Liu Zhong firmly denied the opinion that the city was firmly defended.

He believes that this is tantamount to handing over the advantage of strategic maneuver to the Han army for no reason, and the Han army can arbitrarily cut off their logistical supply routes, and at present, they are not ready to be trapped in a city, and there is not enough time.

If Liu Bei took advantage of this time to transfer troops and bring in more troops, wouldn't they have no advantage in troops?

I have to take advantage of the recklessness now to swallow Xu Huang!

And this kind of thing is trapped in a lonely city, how can he Liu Zhong do it?

Real men are only just frontal, and those trapped in the lonely city are all insects!

He ambitiously led 30,000 elite soldiers to fight against Xu Huang.

Then, unsurprisingly, it was crushed by Xu Huang in the wilderness.

Xu Huang was also a little worried at the beginning that if there were too many rebels, if he held the defensive, then the Han army would be a relatively big test, if he couldn't win quickly, he would need to gather more troops to surround the rebels.

That's not good for him.

Among the five tiger generals, he is the only one who is a pure outsider, neither a Yuan Cong, nor a clan, he has come to this point completely by relying on Liu Bei's appreciation and military exploits, and there are many people in the army who covet his status openly and secretly, not to mention that he is guarding the most fertile place, and there are even more people with red eyes.

He must maintain a strong deterrent force, so that he can win every battle, and with such absolute strength, he can deter the younger generation, prove his ability and value, and let Liu Bei continue to appoint him.
