Time passed, and the letters were distributed all over Hebei.

When the letter arrived in Hecheng County and in the hands of Taishou Pitong, he immediately said: "Wang Lang rebelled, and the minister naturally responded to the general's call!" ”

As he spoke, he took three thousand soldiers and horses to Xindu.

After learning the news, Liu Xiu was taken aback, but he didn't expect that he and Cheng Taishou Pi Tong would choose to be the first to surrender.

When I arrived in Hebei and appeased, most of the cities chose to surrender. But soon, with Wang Lang's rebellion, he took refuge on Wang Lang's side.

To put it bluntly, many people are too observant and have a very low discipline, and if they have milk, they are mothers.

Liu Xiu personally went out of the city to greet him.

Hand in hand entered the city to set up a banquet and welcome Pi Tong.

Urging the Eye of Heavenly Dao, he immediately saw that above Pi Tong's head, the original pale yellow luck turned into gold, like a burning golden fire of luck.

Luck is burning, exuberant to the extreme.

Liu Xiu looked at it again, Pi Tong's qi and blood were introverted, and his true qi was not triggered, but he was vaguely the peak cultivation of the Martial Saint, and he was only a little short of being able to enter the Martial Emperor.

"Heroes emerge in troubled times, and talents emerge in troubled times!"

Liu Xiu exclaimed in his heart.

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, the great grandmaster is the strong man who suppresses one side, and the martial saint is the top giant; But in troubled times, the potential is constantly being opened, and the great masters, martial saints, who were scarce in the past, appear one after another like pulling turnips, almost to the extreme.

In today's world, great masters are like cabbage, everywhere, and martial saints are not rare, only Emperor Wu can suppress one side.

With Pi Tong's qualifications, if it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, the great master is the limit; But in today's troubled times, just in his thirties, he has become a martial saint, and the future of the martial emperor is expected.

Liu Xiu said: "Hebei crisis, Wang Lang is the emperor, the momentum is magnificent, why should you take refuge in me!" ”

Pi Dan said: "Not long ago, Wang Lang's envoy came to visit me and canonized me as the head of the household department, and it was Yangxiahou, but I refused...... Just because the name and the instrument cannot be given lightly. ”

Liu Xiu was silent.

No great merit is a big reward, this is the way to chaos the country.

"Envoy, we will join forces to fight against Wang Lang...... Hubu Shangshu, Jizhou Mu, Xie Gong has already sent troops! Liu Xiu said, "Wang Lang will be defeated!" ”

At this moment, Liu Xiu had the support of Xindu and Hecheng two counties, and there were already 50,000 soldiers and horses, but the two counties had limited troops and the troops were scattered and stationed, and they were not concentrated, and the mobile troops were less than 20,000; Again, the situation is mainly new recruits, and the situation is not good. At the meeting, everyone discussed the situation.

Everyone said that Wang Lang's power was too great, so it was better to evacuate back to Chang'an to avoid the enemy's edge.

Liu Xiu looked at Feng Yi, and Feng Yi was silent; looked at Deng Yu again, and Deng Yu was also silent.

There are many moments when they don't have a good time talking, especially when it's the situation in front of them.

At the moment, they say yes, and some oppose it; Saying no, there are also people who oppose it. As the so-called silence is, it is golden.

Liu Xiu looked at Pi Tong again. Pi Tong said: "Wang Lang is called a lonely widow in Handan, claiming to be of the former Han bloodline, but I know that he is just a wandering Taoist priest, a lowly person who tells fortunes, seems to be fierce and invincible, but in fact, he is strong and weak!" ”

"Wang Lang seems to have a huge power, but in fact, the villain has the ambition to gather a rabble, and there is no deep foundation in Hebei, as long as the general is mobilized and the soldiers and horses of the two counties are mobilized, why worry about not being able to extinguish it!"

Liu Xiu nodded.

Wang Lang is very weak, but Liu Xiu is even weaker; Wang Lang's roots in Hebei are shallow, but Liu Xiu's roots in Hebei are even shallow.

If Deng Yu persuaded, Deng Yu would say that the two rats were trapped in the pit, and there was no way to retreat, only to fight to the death, and the brave won when they met on a narrow road.

If Feng Yi would say, the bloody battle against Wang Lang will be nine deaths; can return to Guanzhong, but it is certain death.

It can be seen that Pi Tong is only a medium talent, a little average, but he is the first to take refuge, but he can be used.

As Pi Tong spoke, the others also echoed.

Liu Xiu nodded, stood up, and said: "The key to this battle is to fight quickly, send troops quickly, and don't give Wang Lang a chance to gain a firm foothold, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us!" ”

The army began to move, began to attack.

There is no time to train the army, so it can only be trained by fighting, and the combat effectiveness of the army can be improved in battle.

…………

Yuyang, Taishou Mansion.

Peng Pet looked at the letter, and it was time to choose again.

On the left is Wang Lang's letter, which is to persuade him to surrender and attack Liu Xiu in the south, and he will be canonized as the Marquis of Yuyang; On the right is Liu Xiu's letter, persuading him to go south to help, not saying that he would be crowned a marquis, but that he would be rewarded according to his merits.

Looking at the two letters, Peng Pet was silent.

The choice of life and death, heaven on one side and hell on the other,

A moment later, a great man appeared, it was none other than Wu Han.

"Meet the envoy!" Wu Han stepped forward and said.

"Someone persuaded me to surrender, two letters, two choices, how should I choose?" Peng Pet asked.

Wu Han was silent and asked, "Wang Langcai is slightly outstanding, or is Liu Xiucai slightly outstanding?" ”

Peng Pet said: "Naturally, Liu Xiucai is slightly outstanding!" ”

"Then envoy, why don't you take refuge in Liu Xiu!" Wu Han said: "Wang Langcai is slightly lacking in virtue, but he is the emperor, because the emperor is weak, easy to overhead, and easy to control." And Liu Xiu is a lot stronger, when he gets to Liu Xiu, he can't stand up, he can only be a courtier honestly! ”

"Make the king take refuge in Wang Lang, but he wants to be a powerful minister, and then go further!"

Peng Pet said: "Naturally not. But Liu Xiu's power is weak, not as strong as Wang Lang! ”

Wu Han said: "Liu Xiu is weak and temporary. Soon after, Emperor Gengshi learned that Hebei had changed, and at that time, the offensive and defensive situation changed, and the weak was no longer Liu Xiu, but Wang Lang! ”

Peng Chong's mind was moved, and he already had the heart to take refuge in Liu Xiu, but he still hesitated and said, "I'll think about it one or two!" ”

…………

Sindu!

Liu Xiu is thinking about the next step.

Suddenly, Deng Yu stepped forward and said, "Lord, Geng Chun is back!" ”

"Geng Chun, didn't you leave as a deserter?" Liu Xiu asked.

Not long ago, at a difficult time, countless soldiers fled, and Geng Chun was one of them.

I didn't expect Geng Chun to come back.

"Before Geng Chun left, he said goodbye to me, saying that he wanted to go home and invite his clan to join, and now he is returning with his clan!" Deng Yu said: "It is said that when he led his clansmen to follow the lord, some clansmen did not obey!" He directly burned down the Geng family's house and cut off the family's back road! ”

Liu Xiu chuckled in her heart.

When he saw Geng Chun again, Geng Chun's expression was tired.

Liu Xiu sighed and said, "Boshan, why do you have to do this!" ”

Geng Chun said: "When Da Sima first arrived in Hebei, he didn't have much wealth to reward the soldiers. You can only rely on your talents and kindness, but it doesn't last long. Although I have defected with my clan, I am a merchant and a mercenary, and if they cannot be united, it will endanger the cause of the lord. Therefore burn their houses to cut off their hopes!"
