Chapter 68 Section 1 Kunyang Thirteen Riders

In addition, Wang Yi led an army of 420,000 troops out of Luoyang in the east, passed through Yanshi and Gong counties, and turned southward. The terrain gradually opened up and entered the territory of Yingchuan County.The generals of the Yingchuan Han Army gathered in Kunyang to discuss countermeasures urgently.After some quarrels, the opinions gradually became unified: send troops to Yangguan, block them head-on, and first give the officers and soldiers a blow.Liu Xiu came late, and after listening to the resolution, she shook her head and said, "Heading up against toughness, although courageous, he is not a good planner."

Wang Feng, Shanggong of the Kingdom of Cheng, snorted coldly and said, "Then show us a good one." Liu Xiudao: "The officers and soldiers are coming here, and they will move all over Luoyang. The road passes through the Longmen Gorge and goes straight to Luoyang. According to the arsenal of Luoyang, the grain and millet from Ao Cang are taken, and the dangers of mountains and rivers are blocked, Chang'an is seen in the west, and the Central Plains are commanded in the east. Far too." Liu Xiu's plan is similar to Yan You's plan, but it goes in the opposite direction. Once the adventure is successful, the battle will take the initiative immediately.However, such a bold plan is far beyond the experience of the generals of the green forest. Before the rebellion, they were all from the countryside, rarely went out, and had never been to big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang. He was even more ignorant and ignorant, so he was shocked at first, and then laughed at.Liu Xiu was not discouraged when he failed, and said: "If you have to fight head-on, you shouldn't choose to block. The officers and soldiers in the vanguard must be elite. Even if they fight hard, they may not be able to win, but they will suffer losses. In my opinion, It is best to use ambushes. There are millions of officers and soldiers, and when they march, they are like long snakes, stretching for hundreds of miles. Our army can use the terrain of Yaoshan Mountain to ambush among the trees. Journey. If so, the long snake will be cut off at the waist, and the head and tail will not be able to look at each other, and there will be chaos."

However, no one agrees with Liu Xiu's plan except Wang Chang who has always admired Liu Xiu.The generals are still immersed in the illusion that the officers and soldiers are vulnerable, thinking that this time is no exception, Liu Yan can go head-to-head with the officers and soldiers in Bishui, why can't we?So he insisted on the previous discussion, recruited the Han army scattered in Yingchuan, got more than 30,000 people, and marched to Yangguan. When the Han army marched to Yangguan, they met the vanguard of officers and soldiers. The Han army fought bravely and rushed straight to the enemy's position.Just as Liu Xiu expected, the vanguard of the officers and soldiers was the elite of the Central Army, and the two armies met and fought for a while.Seeing that the battle was in full swing, the officers and soldiers suddenly retreated, dodged a passage, and four horses, pulling a cart like a house, appeared in front of the Han army.The Han army looked at each other, what kind of secret weapon is this?

But with a bang, the car door flew dozens of steps away, and a fist the size of a bucket was exposed outside the car.The owner of the fist, the Big Mac, got out of the car, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, it seemed that the ground was trembling.The Han army looked up and couldn't close their mouths. What kind of person is that?Square face, big eyes, bare upper body, extremely ugly, burly like a tower of flesh, covering the sky and blinding the eyes. With a low growl from the giant's throat, it stepped towards the Han army.The Han army's legs and feet were weak, and they began to retreat slowly unconsciously.A bold soldier of the Han army stabbed with a gun. The giant snatched the gun, lifted the soldier, held it high above his head, grabbed the soldier's legs, tore them in half, and threw the soldier back to the ground. He was panting for breath, while his intestines and viscera, together with fresh blood, flowed all over the ground.Where have the soldiers of the Han army seen this kind of killing method? Their hearts were devastated, and they turned around and fled. Oddly folded.

The Han army did not dare to turn their heads back. While fleeing desperately, they did not forget to greet their brothers, relatives and friends, run, run!The rest of the Han troops who were scattered and fighting didn't understand what happened. They saw that these Han troops were running fast and screaming fiercely. Under panic, their fighting spirit also leaked for thousands of miles, and they ran wildly.Wang Yi led the troops to take advantage of the momentum to charge and kill countless people, defeating the Han army. The soldiers of the Han army dispersed in a rush, and the generals Wang Feng and Liu Xiu could no longer command, so they could only retreat quickly and return to Kunyang.Wang Yi urged the army to march, chasing after him all the way.

The people withdrew to Kunyang, joined Wang Chang who stayed behind in Kunyang, counted the remnants, and there were only more than 8,000 people left.In Kunyang City, the atmosphere was low and sad. The Han army felt the ferocity of the officers and soldiers, especially the Big Mac, which left an indelible psychological shadow on many soldiers.It is impossible for such a powerful officer and soldier to be defeated.This is destined to be a completely hopeless war. Fear is written on everyone's face, and this fear is further strengthened by looking at each other helplessly. After the fiasco at Yangguan, the leaders of the Green Forest Army realized that the strength of the two sides was not on the same order of magnitude at all, so they were all terrified. Although they gathered together, they no longer discussed how to fight, but how to disband up.The leaders have laid down their own large or small territories in Yingchuan, where they have their wives and children, and where they have seized gold, silver and jewelry.Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to return to the territory and be happy before death.

Seeing that the leaders had no intention of fighting and only wanted to escape early, Liu Xiu stood up and looked up to the sky laughing.Wang Feng gave Liu Xiu a cold look, and asked disdainfully, "Your Majesty, what do you have to say?" Three months ago, Liu Xuan was established as the Son of Heaven. During the great controversy at that time, Deng Chen threw out the prophecy that "Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven" that Cai Shaogong said. Since then, the leaders of the Green Forest Army have called Liu Xiu the Son of Heaven. Thought it was joking and sarcasm.Liu Xiu went out, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are here to conquest yourself!" Liu Xiu ate, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are using the imperial meal yourself!" Woolen cloth!"

Wang Feng asked, and all the generals echoed in unison: "Your Majesty, why are you laughing so loudly?" Liu Xiu replied sharply, "I laugh brightly, but you are still dreaming." The generals have always looked down on Liu Xiu, thinking that he only relied on his elder brother Liu Yan's relationship, so he became a partial general. Seeing Liu Xiu dare to speak rudely, all the generals twitched their muscles and showed anger.Liu Xiu turned a blind eye and continued: "Now we have weak soldiers and few valleys, and the foreign invaders are strong. The only chance is to resist together. If all the parts are scattered, there will be nothing left. And Wancheng is not pulled out, so we can't rescue each other. Kunyang will be destroyed, and in a day, all the tribes will be destroyed. Today, if you don’t work together to promote fame and fame, you want to guard your wife’s property instead?”

What Liu Xiu said hit Wang Chang's heart.Wang Chang was about to speak in favor, but Wang Feng glared at Liu Xiu, saying: "You really think you are the emperor? You are just a mediocre general! Before you raised troops at Yangguan, you were full of nonsense, now the general is planning, you You want to interrupt again. Hurry up!" Liu Xiu didn't refute, got up and walked away, laughing all the way, making all the generals restless and creepy.As soon as Liu Xiu left, spies came to report, "Officers and soldiers are approaching. They are hundreds of miles long, and the vanguard has already reached the north of the city!"

Seeing that the road was dead and the generals became more and more panicked, Wang Chang took the opportunity to say: "Although Liu Xiu is a scholar, he is superior in the art of war. The battle of Yangguan, if he had listened to Liu Xiu's words, might not have been such a disastrous defeat. The current situation It's urgent, since you have nothing to do, why don't you invite Liu Xiu back to see what he can do." The generals had no choice but to invite Liu Xiu again.Liu Xiu went back and looked at the generals, pretending to be surprised: "Hey, why are you still here? You know, when the officers and soldiers come, it's a pity."

Wang Chang closed his eyes and sighed, "The officers and soldiers have already arrived." Looking at Liu Xiu, Wang Feng finally had a hint of respect in his tone, and said, "I would like to hear from General Liu." Liu Xiu said with a smile: "There are eight or nine thousand soldiers in Kunyang City today. It is not a problem to hold on for half a month. There are still nearly ten thousand Han troops in Dingling and Yancheng. Call for help from Lingling and Yancheng. Within half a month, Wancheng will fall, and tens of thousands of the main force of the Han army can also withdraw to help. At that time, as soon as the two reinforcements arrive, the city will also see the opportunity, right under the Kunyang city , gallop and whip, and come to him for a battle through the ages, wouldn't it be great!" Ambition was ignited in the words, and blood gradually appeared on the faces of the generals.Liu Xiu said again in a loud voice: "Wang Mang's whole country is coming, and we will meet it with all our strength. This is destined to be an unprecedented decisive battle. Millions of heroes will meet in one city. The rivers and rivers will weep for it, and the heaven and earth will be heroic. With such a battle, what more can I ask for?" All the generals danced and danced, as if drinking high.Liu Xiu said again: "If you win, you will have all the world. The kings will split the soil and seal the borders, and enjoy wealth and honor forever. If you lose, you will die. It is like the beginning of the army. We have nothing. If so, why not be afraid! What can Wang Mang do to me!" The generals were lost, the moon at the bottom of the water was the moon in the sky, but the person in front of him was no longer the person in his eyes. At this moment, Liu Xiu was no longer the usual submissive Liu Xiu. When everyone panicked, he was cold instead of hot. The situation is scalded, and between talking and laughing, it turns from low to passionate, and from mourning to arrogance.This kind of boldness and courage, even Liu Yan, cannot be surpassed. In the middle of the night, Kunyang City, which was surrounded by officers and soldiers, opened the south gate and reunited. Thirteen cavalry rushed out like moths to the flame, and went straight into the ranks of officers and soldiers. Ling and Yancheng ran away. The names of these thirteen warriors (three of them, whose names have not been tested) are written below: Liu Xiu, Deng Chen, Zong Yi, Li Yi, Ren Guang, Zang Gong, Liu Long, Wang Ba, Fu Jun, Ma Wu... … Tonight, they are all heroes; This night, they are all fierce brothers; This night, love is absent, but courage is omnipresent. In the night, thirteen riders galloped like rain, like King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, setting off to find light and hope.However, spring has passed, is there really light and hope, in a certain vague distance?
