Chapter 63 Section 5 parting ways

Let's say that Wu Han fled back to Luoyang, met Liu Xiu, and prepared to talk about the battle of Xinye.In Wu Han's mouth, the responsibility is naturally on Deng Feng. It was Deng Feng who deliberately conspired against him, so he counterattacked against him, and then took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Please lead the army again, take the crime and make meritorious service, and take Deng Feng's head as a thank you to Your Majesty. " After listening to Wu Han's one-sided remarks, Liu Xiu didn't express his opinion, but just waved his hand and said, "The Great Sima has worked hard, so let's go back to the house to rest first, I will handle this matter myself."

Wu Han refused to retreat, so Fu Digu asked, "Please fight again." Liu Xiudao: "The great Sima's arrogance is commendable. Since he is asking for a battle, how can I refuse it. Immediately ordered the Minister to write an imperial edict, saying, the imperial edict of the Great Sima Wu Han: lead Hushi General Du Mao, Strong Crossbow General Chen Jun, etc., Join forces with Huya General Gai Yan to attack Liu Yong." When Wu Han heard that Liu Xiu wanted to transfer him to the Eastern battlefield, he felt unwilling and knelt down and begged, "I don't want to attack Liu Yong. I would like to return to Nanyang to fight Deng Feng again."

Liu Xiu replied: "Liu Yong is called the Son of Heaven. He crosses the prefectures and counties. He is powerful and the most confidant. It must be the great Sima who goes out in person. Xinye Hou Dengfeng is temporarily angry, and he will never change his mind. I have my own countermeasures. Why bother?" Work hard!" Wu Han resigned angrily.As soon as Wu Han left, Liu Xiu's calm face instantly turned livid, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out. The jade cup in his hand was already broken, and the jade piece cut his palm, bleeding profusely. "Wu Han should be killed!" The eunuchs had never seen Liu Xiu so furious, shrank in a far corner, too frightened to speak out.

How dare Wu Han lie to him face to face!If Deng Feng wanted to rebel, why wait until now?There was Zhu Fu who forced against Peng Chong before, and now Wu Han is forcing against Deng Feng. They are all fucking subordinates, they will only add to the chaos and not let people worry.Peng Chong was easier to deal with, but Deng Feng... Leaving aside the past story of Deng Feng taking the head of a giant from among the millions of troops in Kunyang, it is only said that the tens of thousands of elite soldiers brought by Wu Han to Nanyang were killed by Deng Feng in an instant Not one piece of armor left is enough to prove that Deng Feng is the most inefficient lamp in the world.

In a few days, the prefect of Changshan, Deng Chen, suddenly returned to Xinye. When he saw Deng Feng, he knelt down for Deng Feng without saying a word. Seeing Deng Chen kneeling down, Deng Feng didn't help him up, but asked, "Why is uncle kneeling me?" How could Deng Chen be willing to kneel to Deng Feng? He was feeling aggrieved in his heart. As the dignified prefect of Changshan, he was forced to act as a lobbyist for Liu Xiu for the second time.Deng Chen looked at Deng Feng and said, "Uncle, please, don't cause more trouble for the Deng family." Deng Feng had already guessed Deng Chen's reason for coming, and sneered, "This kneeling is really a powerful weapon. You are an uncle, and kneeling down on me, a junior, is using courtesy to suppress me. I don't accept courtesy, I only accept reason Wu Han slaughtered innocent people, and I had no choice but to fight to protect the people. Uncle, in all fairness, who is more reasonable?"

Deng Chen saw that Deng Feng never came to help him, so he stood up shamelessly, sat down opposite Deng Feng, and said: "Although the truth is with you, you also killed Da Sima Wu Han to the point of throwing away his helmet and armor. Out of anger. The emperor is lenient, as long as you are willing to go to Luoyang to apologize, the emperor promises to let the past go, and you will be the governor of Nanyang." Deng Feng said coldly: "Since I am not at fault, why do I have to apologize? I allow my subordinates to kill innocent people and tyrannize the people. What qualifications does such an emperor have to rule the world? If I want to take Nanyang, it will be as easy as flipping the palm of my hand. ?"

Deng Chen was terrified when he heard the words. In Deng Feng's words, he had already shown blatant opposition.Deng Chen pleaded: "For the sake of the Deng family, no matter what, you should wrong yourself. Otherwise, I will have to die in front of you. I cannot bear to see the Deng family die because of you." Deng Feng sighed, Deng Chen was his real uncle after all, his appearance was pitiful, and his words were sad, so he said: "I can apologize, as long as I agree to two conditions: First, behead Wu Han to thank the people of Nanyang. Second, Bule soldiers, from now on, there will be no more captives."

Deng Chen said: "What if the emperor refuses to agree?" Deng Feng said proudly: "If he refuses to agree, then he will have one more enemy." Deng Chen returned to Luoyang and told Liu Xiu what Deng Feng wanted.Liu Xiu closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He tried to use negotiation to solve Deng Feng's problem, but what he didn't expect was that Deng Feng's negotiation style was the same as his, tough to the end and not negotiable.Deng Feng's second condition is understandable, but the first condition is too harsh and difficult to meet. Among Liu Xiu's subordinates, the faction of Hebei generals is the most powerful, and Wu Han is the leader of this faction. It is precisely because of the fear of the strength of the Hebei faction that Liu Xiucai had to make Wu Han the Grand Sima.It is not difficult to kill Wu Han, but the consequences are quite dire. Peng Chong has conspired against in Yuyang and is trying his best to win over Liu Xiu's Hebei generals. If Liu Xiu kills Wu Han at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the Hebei faction will not abandon him. Return to Peng Chong.

Besides, whether to kill Wu Han or not is Liu Xiu's emperor's sovereignty. Deng Feng asked him to kill Wu Han, which is a naked interference with his emperor's sovereignty. , Where is the majesty! Liu Xiu personally wrote to Deng Feng, expressing his difficulties and making the final fight.Deng Feng saw that Liu Xiu refused to kill Wu Han and threw the book on the ground, but he didn't bother to read it. He said coldly, "I don't care about the life of a general, but the lives of the common people. What can I say!" In November of the second year of Jianwu (AD 26), Deng Feng sent troops to capture Fuyang and officially broke with Liu Xiu.Qin Feng, a native of Nanjun, occupied Liqiu, proclaimed himself King of Chu and Li, and conquered twelve surrounding counties. Dong Chen occupied Duxiang, and Xu Han occupied Xing.
