The team walked slowly all the way to Yunlong Valley in Tangzi Township. On the valley, a military camp stands in a row, waving flags. On both sides of the camp, eight volunteers held spears in their hands, and their clothes were messy, but they stood tall and determined, giving people a sense of dignity and integrity.

Outside the camp, hundreds of people in ragged clothes and miserable faces were waiting in line for help. Dozens of volunteers lined up in more than a dozen buckets of gruel and a few dustpans of white buns, and methodically added porridge and steamed buns to the refugees who had fled to Jianyang City.

Seeing the arrival of the banner with the word "Liu", the righteous army said in unison: "Restore the cause of the ancestors and build the merits of the world!" The voice was neat and solemn, the sound shook the valley, and the anger rushed to the sky.

Hundreds of refugees knelt down in unison and said loudly: "General Liu is very gracious, and the small people are unforgettable." ”

"Hurry up!" Liu Xuan caught up with the old man and said, "Uncle, the younger generation just did something insignificant, and he deserves such a big gift." ”

"Deserved, deserved!" Lao Suo said with tears: "The two generals, the little old man's family, fled all the way from Xinshi to here, and were all exploited and oppressed by the bandits, only the general was benevolent, and actually offered the best white rice and white noodles to the small people, and the small people were grateful." ”

After Lao Suo finished speaking, he once again pulled the family to kneel and bow, and all the refugees knelt on the ground together to thank him.

"Folks, you can't help it, you can't help it! Get up quickly!" Liu Xuan said hurriedly: "Fellow villagers, as long as my brothers and sisters are here, we will definitely ensure that everyone eats." ”

Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu personally helped Lao Suo's family up. Liu Xiu said: "Folks, we are all people who were driven to a dead end by Wang Mang, a thief who steals the country. Wang Mang was a traitor and thief, stealing the orthodoxy of the Han family, being stubborn and self-serving, and unscrupulous, waging wars against the outside world one after another, so that Ding Zhuang was exhausted by the blade of arrows, and the old and weak were filled in the ravines; he bullied the people internally, made people want to die, and made the great rivers and mountains full of devastation, and mourned all over the wilderness. ”

Everyone nodded yes and scolded Wang Mang's regime for being brutal and unreasonable.

Liu Xiu continued to say aloud: "There is no way to recklessly govern, the sky is angry and people are resentful, the mountains and rivers change color, and thieves swarm, leaving the people of Li in fire and water. We are the descendants of our ancestors, who are in line with the will of heaven, who are obedient to the hearts of the people, who inherit the virtues of our ancestors, and who raise the sect to raise trouble, and the benevolent and righteous people have come to vote. Hot-blooded men, throwing their heads and spilling blood, are united as one, and they will definitely overthrow this cannibalistic tyranny and return the dawn to the people. ”

"Okay!" a young man next to Lao Suo stood up and said, "The two generals are benevolent and righteous, and the villain is willing to swear to follow the two generals!"

"The villain is also willing to follow the general!" dozens of people walked out of the crowd one after another, and fell to the ground in unison.

Liu Xiu readily agreed, instructed General Li to receive new soldiers, and settled the refugees, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

That night, the Liu Xuan brothers summoned their Liu Ji, Liu Jia, Li General Li Tong and his younger brother Li Yi and other cadres to set up a banquet and entertain Fu Qingyun's brothers and sisters.

Liu Xiu knew that Fu Qingyun and Chu Wenjing's injuries had not healed, so he specially set up soft couch cushions for them, and the others were hardwood stools, which made Fu Qingyun even more grateful in his heart.

Halfway through the wine, Liu Xuan said: "Brother Qingyun, you came too timely. After the brother raised the matter, hit Changju, Ketangzi, and take Huyang, although the momentum was high for a while, but the vast majority of Nanyang County was still in the hands of the official army, and the new reckless army was around, and if he was not careful, he was in danger of being uprooted, and the foolish brother often couldn't sleep at night for this. The Qingyun brothers are very wise, and they hope to guide them and solve the crisis. ”

Fu Qingyun said with a smile: "In terms of wisdom and bravery, in the world, I am afraid that no one can be the right of the two brothers, how dare the foolish brother be ugly." ”

Liu Xiudao: "Qingyun is too modest, knowledgeable and unique, among the people here, I am afraid that no one can match the virtuous brother." ”

Fu Qingyun scratched his head and said, "The two brothers smiled, Qingyun just read a few more books." When it comes to marching and fighting, strategy and tactics, I don't know anything about it. ”

The people of the world, the so-called rich and rich five buckets, can be called knowledgeable. However, in the world, the book was printed with bamboo woodcuts, and the books contained in the five bucket carts were no more than the number of words contained in a book of "Five Thousand Years Up and Down". Therefore, in comparison, Fu Qingyun can indeed be regarded as knowledgeable. In addition, Fu Qingyun was originally a person of later generations, standing on the shoulders of historical giants to look at the problem, for those who are trapped in the puzzle of the world, his views are naturally unique.

Liu Xuan said: "Brother Qingyun, you are well-versed in the past and the present, even if you don't know much about marching and fighting, you can always sort out the clues in the chaos, and the foolish brother is deeply admired." ”

"I wonder what the situation is now?" Fu Qingyun asked.

Liu Xiudao: "At present, there are two relatively large forces in the territory of Nanyang County, one is the Xinmang army led by Zhen Fu, the former doctor of Nanyang County, and Zhengliang Qiuci, with a total of 100,000 soldiers, including 50,000 elite soldiers, well-equipped, and heavily defended in Nanyang; And our Han army, with only 10,000 troops and poor equipment, is much more humble compared with these two forces. ”

Liu Xuan said: "Although the Han army and the Xinshi soldiers and the Pinglin soldiers allied with the army to form an offensive and defensive alliance to form the Green Forest Alliance, but the Xinshi soldiers and the Pinglin soldiers only want to live in peace with the world, and they have no interest in overthrowing the Mang government and saving the country and the people. ”

Li Daodao: "The Xinshi soldiers and the Pinglin soldiers said that they were righteous troops, but in fact they were no different from the bandits who gathered in the mountains and forests. ”

Li Yi clenched his fists and said: "These bastards, they oppress the people more fiercely than anyone else, and they will lay soft eggs when they encounter officials and soldiers, and they are unreliable." ”

Liu Xuan said: "From the day of the incident, our Han army set a program, with the purpose of reviving the Han dynasty and the well-being of all the people as the foundation, restraining the team, strictly enforcing military discipline, and Yu Minqiu did not commit any crimes, which won the support of the army and the people. Therefore, although the number of our Han army is small, its combat effectiveness is strong, and it has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the officers and troops, and is regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by the Xinmang army. ”

The next general, Liu Ji, bowed and said: "According to the spy report, Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci are recruiting troops and preparing to attack the Han army. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Although our Han army is weak, it is the backbone of overthrowing the tyranny of the reckless thief. Zhen Fu and Liang Qiuci saw this point, abandoned Xinshi and Pinglin troops, and formulated an encirclement and suppression strategy specifically for our Han army. ”

Everyone was gossiping, and Fu Qingyun and the others had a general understanding of the current situation.

Song Wantong blushed and asked, "The Han army is small, why don't you recruit troops and expand your combat readiness." ”

Liu Xuan laughed and said: "To recruit troops and buy horses, you need money and food. ”

Liu Xiu sighed: "After the Han army raised its banner against recklessness, it has been forced and coerced by the Xinmang army of Nanyang County and has been tossing and turning. Although they have conquered Changju, Tangzi, and Huyang, they have no foothold in the city. At present, the Han army is camped in Yunlong Valley, Tangzi Township, the mountainous area is barren, and the grain, grass and military resources are seriously insufficient. ”

Song Wantong said timidly: "Then what do the Xinshi soldiers and Pinglin soldiers rely on to feed so many teams?"

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "The girl asked the mystery in one word. Our Han army raised the banner against recklessness, for the sake of the poor people, which was different from the Xinshi soldiers and Pinglin soldiers. The soldiers of Xinshi and Pinglin plundered only to fill their stomachs and break through the city, whether they were rich or poor. And our Han army only killed the rich and gentry, and did not commit any crimes in the autumn of the poor, and also widely helped refugees, so the money and food were naturally insufficient. ”
