Chapter 58 Verbal battle in the third quarter

Besides, when Liu Yan attacked Wancheng, he thought he could take it in a few days, but Wancheng's defense was far more tenacious than imagined.In a blink of an eye, the first month was over, and it was the first day of the second month. Suddenly, an envoy came from the Fuyang base camp, asking Liu Yan to come back to discuss important matters. Liu Yan was very impatient, what could be more urgent than attacking Wancheng?Go back and come again, isn't this a waste of time?Unable to withstand the envoy's repeated urging, he took Liu Xiu, Deng Chen, Liu Ji, and dozens of cavalry back to Fuyang.

Dozens of people stepped on the frost and ice, without a word all the way.When Liu Yan led the crowd to the base camp, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. Most of the people staying in Fuyang were the Green Forest Army, who had always been loose in military discipline and noisy, but at this moment, the entire base camp was surprisingly quiet. Liu Yan and the others came to the meeting hall and looked up, all the leaders were there, obviously they had been waiting for a long time, but the seat in the middle was surprisingly empty.Without even thinking about it, Liu Yan stepped in and walked straight to the main seat.

But Wang Kuang stood up suddenly, raised his hand and said, "General Zhutian, stay here." Liu Yansheng stopped, looked at Wang Kuang, and asked, "What advice does General Wang have?" Wang Kuang pointed to the seat next to him and said, "The general is here." Liu Yan was secretly angry, I am the majestic general of the sky, if I don't sit in the main seat, who is worthy of it?Who dares to sit?I wanted to get angry, but I also thought that Wang Kuang was the old leader of the Green Forest Army, so I had to give him face, so I asked with anger: "The seat of the master is empty, who is it for?"

Wang Kuang said with a smile: "General Liu, please take a seat first, and then discuss." Liu Yan sat resentfully, and Liu Xiu, Deng Chen, and Liu Ji also sat down next to each other.Zhu Tuan clapped his hands, Lu Zhi got up, stood under the steps, and sang loudly: "The Son of Heaven is in place." Liu Yan's complexion changed drastically when he heard this, knowing that he was shamelessly plotted against, this group of people had already established the emperor behind their backs, and calling him back was to force him to accept this established fact.Liu Yan snorted and sneered, he wanted to see who this group of people made emperor.

Liu Xuan lowered his head, counting the floor tiles with his eyes, hurriedly walked out, came to the main seat, bent his knees, and was about to take his seat, when he heard a violent shout, like spring thunder, and said: "How dare you?" Liu Xuan was guilty at first, and when he was suddenly yelled at, he was so frightened that he shuddered. Following the sound, he sneaked a look, and saw Liu Ji's face was purple, his beard and hair stood on end, and he was glaring at him. Regardless of prestige or authority, it is not as terrible as accumulating power.Among Liu Xuan's disciples of the Liu family, Liu Ji was notoriously ruthless, except for Liu Yan, who refused to accept and dared to beat everyone up.From childhood to adulthood, Liu Xuan has often been fisted by Liu Ji, and his fear of Liu Ji can be said to be deeply rooted in his bones.When Liu Ji yelled at Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan didn't even dare to refute, but just stayed on the spot, retreating but unable to retreat, sitting but not daring to sit, like a pupil who was punished to stand, standing with his hands down, pitiful.

Zhu Yu got up abruptly, angrily scolded Liu Ji and said, "Bold! Don't be rude in front of the emperor!" Liu Ji ignored Zhu Tuan at all, poked Liu Xuan with his finger, and said loudly: "Brother Bo Sheng, who raised troops to make big things happen, what has it to do with you? When will it be your turn to be the Son of Heaven?" sleeve, he wanted to rush up and beat Liu Xuan, like he had beaten countless times before. Liu Xiu and others pulled Liu Ji hard, and Zhu Tuan's tone began to weaken, saying: "It is the public opinion of all the leaders to make Sheng Gong the emperor."

Liu Ji glared at Zhu Yu, and said, "What public opinion? Have you ever asked us? Since the rise of the army, Liu's clan and Nanyang heroes have always been at the forefront, attacking cities and conquering land, going through life and death. How have there been descendants? Supporting the emperor, such a big event, Why don't you ask me to wait, what is the reason?" Although Liu Ji's trouble made the atmosphere in the room tense, it also bought Liu Yan precious time to think.Liu Yan sat calmly, his mind spinning. Liu Yan has been the boss everywhere in his life, and he has never been subordinate to others. How is it possible for him to surrender the position of emperor!Facing the sudden attack by Zhu Tuo and others, what should he do?Do you want to turn your face immediately?

Before turning your face, you have to look through the books and do some calculations: the current Han Army is like a company, and the Green Forest Army is the strongest and the largest shareholder, with a shareholding ratio far exceeding 51%. The clan and Nanyang heroes can only be regarded as minority shareholders.Previously, Liu played the role of General Ren Zhutian, who was nominally the chairman of the Han Army, but he could not really control the board of directors.Now, the major shareholder Lvlinjun wants to dismiss him and elect another chairman. From a legal point of view, he can only accept it and cannot fight back.

Moreover, Zhu Yu and others dared to operate in the dark, obviously they had carefully prepared, and they were not worried about Liu Yan withdrawing shares or fighting.Furthermore, Liu Yan only had dozens of cavalry with him, while there were thousands of green forest troops in the Han army base camp. If he wanted to turn his face on the spot, he would only suffer the loss in the end. Wudou is not the best choice, Liu Yan can only pin his hopes on Wendou.Seeing that Liu Ji was still arguing with Zhu Tuan, Liu Yan tugged at Liu Ji's sleeve and lightly reprimanded him, "Sit down."

When the boss spoke, Liu Ji didn't dare not listen, so he had to sit down resentfully.Liu Yan stood up, looked around the audience, scolded everyone's old lady in his heart, and then raised his voice and said: "Liu Xuan and I are both children of the Liu family, with the same branches and leaves, the same glory and the same disgrace. I am selfishly grateful that the son of the Liu family is the emperor. However, for the sake of the generals, I dare not say anything." Under the cover of Liu Yan's tall body, the leaders listened quietly.Liu Yan said again: "Today Dongfang Chimei has hundreds of thousands of people, and their strength is far superior to our army. If our army is the first to establish an emperor, how can Chimei be willing to set up another clan as emperor. In this way, Then there must be internal strife. Wang Mang is not destroyed, but the clans attack each other, it is doubting the world and self-destructing power, not to destroy Wang Mang."

Liu Yan looked around the audience again, scolded everyone's old lady again in his heart, and then said: "The first soldier who sings the trumpet is all dead and famous, and it is difficult to succeed. Watching Chen Sheng and Xiang Yu is a lesson from the past. Now the Han army , the number of soldiers is less than 100,000, the area is less than 300 miles, and the power is not strong but the first to proclaim the emperor, thus becoming the target of the world. If the red eyebrows have no place to stand, it is not too late until our army defeats Wang Mang, lowers the red eyebrows, and then raises the title of honor. I hope you will think about it carefully." What Liu Yan said sounds thoughtful and reasonable. Besides, Liu Yan has already made a huge concession in his words, agreeing to let Liu Xuan become the supreme head of state of the Han army, but he is not called the emperor, but the first king.All the generals in the green forest were moved and said: "General Liu's words are very good, it is better to be king first." The aggressive offensive of Zhu Yu and others was turned into invisible by Liu Yan's laughter.Seeing that Liu Yan's strategy of slowing down the army was about to succeed, Zhu Yu thought hard about how to refute it, but what Liu Yan said was really irrefutable.At the critical moment, Zhang Ang became manic, utterly unreasonable, and directly came to a conclusion, saying: "It's okay to be called the Lord of Heaven, but why is it wrong to be called the Son of Heaven!" After speaking, he drew his sword and hit the ground, and said again: "Doubts are useless, Today's discussion must not be two." After Zhang Ang finished speaking, he looked around triumphantly, let's see who dares to talk nonsense with this sword! However, Liu Xiu, who had been silent all this time, regarded Zhang Ang as nothing, stood up and said, "The Liu family of Chongling, Liu Zhi is the eldest son of the great clan, and Liu Xuan has few descendants. Moreover, Liu Zhi's words and deeds are honest, like an elder Nanyang has no disrespect for him. Now Liu Xuan is abandoned in favor of Liu Zhi, which is abandoning respect and standing in inferiority, and I fear being ridiculed by the people of the world." What Liu Xiu said was even more irrefutable.This is a patriarchal society at that time, Liu Zhi, as the son of the eldest son, is far more noble than Liu Xuan, if a child of the Liu family must be established, Liu Zhi is undoubtedly the number one candidate, bypassing Liu Zhi and establishing Liu Xuan, both emotionally and rationally unreasonable . Wang Kuang and the others glared at Zhang Ang viciously, reckless man, tell you to be so fucking brave, Liu Yan had already given in and agreed to let Liu Xuan be the chairman, so we got what we wanted.You are fine, if you have nothing to do, you have to draw out your sword and swing it around, but Liu Xiu asked, let's see how you end up.
