Chapter 87 Section 20 hanging Kunyang

Besides, the suddenly extremely bad weather also caught the Han army by surprise. There was loud thunder, strong wind and torrential rain, and the visibility dropped sharply. The Han army had to stop attacking and hold their formation. Let the weather pass quickly so that you can go to battle to kill the enemy again sooner. However, the officers and soldiers actually collapsed at this time, which was unexpected by Liu Xiu and others.Lightning bolts frequently pierced the sky, outlining the figures fleeing in panic, and illuminating the trampled corpses.The battlefield, which was still in full swing just now, has turned into a desolate and cold hell in a blink of an eye.

It was raining heavily, Liu Xiu and others stood in the rain, motionless, with their mouths wide open, startled by the spectacle in front of them.Rainwater flew obliquely, filled his mouth, poof, spit it out, and then continued to open his mouth wide.They just can't keep their mouths shut.This is too amazing. Could it be that the war ended so easily? Liu Xiu and the others caressed their biceps in boredom, feeling melancholy that heroes were useless.They had guessed the beginning of this war, but absolutely never guessed the ending.They won, and it was a big victory that they never dared to dream of. They won so simply and thoroughly.Could it be God's will?Even if it is God's will, then God is too generous.Liu Xiu and the others looked at each other incredulously, and it took a long time before they dared to confirm the fact of victory, so laughter and thunder reverberated, and tears flew down with the rain.

When the thunder gradually subsided, and the wailing and shouting on the battlefield gradually became rarer, Liu Xiu and others heard a calm and firm sound of war drums. Looking through the rain curtain, they saw a barbarian, soaked all over, beating the drum. endlessly.That was the drummer of the officers and soldiers, ignoring the countless corpses around him, ignoring the mess of the battlefield, between the sky and the earth, under the thunderstorm, soloing ecstasy.He didn't even realize that he was the last one left by the officers and soldiers in Kunyang city.The Han army surrounded him and listened quietly to the Hu people beating the drums. No one thought of hurting him. He was not a soldier, and his hands were unarmed. However, he and his drums resounded to the end.

The sound of war drums was so passionate, yet so desperate, Liu Xiu couldn't help shouting: The war is over!Seeing that it was an enemy army, the Hu people shouted loudly: "As long as there is one officer and soldier fighting, I will accompany him to the end."Liu Xiu shouted: "There is not a single officer or soldier left."The barbarians stopped their drumsticks and looked around, only corpses, corpses.The Hu man stood there for a while, trembling all over, half cold, half sad, for a long time, he said to Liu Xiu: "The man died in a foreign land, please play the requiem for his soul." drum.

The sound of drums echoed on the Kunyang battlefield again, for those souls who died young, for those sons who died suddenly.The deep and depressing sound of the drum, through the cold wind and rain, through the lightning and thunder, played in the ears of every living and dead.Amidst the sound of the drums, there will be no more enemy and us, no more winners and losers.All are one, and every dead is the sorrow of the living.Why ask for whom the drum is beating, it is beating for everyone! The Hu people have been beating the drums since the beginning of the battle, and they are already exhausted. As the last drumbeat fell, the Hu people's wet body slowly fell to the ground.The last battle drum under Kunyang City fell silent.

Besides, Wang Yi fled to a safe place, returned to his horse and looked at the Kunyang battlefield behind him, and after a short look, suddenly sadness came from it, and he laughed wildly, like singing like weeping, like crazy like a demon: Ruined, all fucking ruined.The most powerful army of millions in history, if it is gone, it will be gone.Looking back on that day, what kind of arrival did I have?At that time, I am the night, I am the war demon, I will touch the rivers and mountains, and conquer all.But now, hundreds of thousands of soldiers died at the same time on the battlefield in front of them. What's even more ridiculous is that they didn't die at the hands of the Han army, they killed themselves completely.Relatives far away, close the open door, don't wait any longer, the sons and daughters will not come back, they will stay in Kunyang forever, in this cursed place, they can no longer hold a small flower on their shoulders Cloud, they can no longer hold a song in their throats.

Wang Mang has already obeyed him in everything, Wang Mang is good enough buddies this time, what excuses does he have?No, ten thousand no.It took only two hours to destroy the millions of troops gathered in three months.Failure, a cowardly failure, and at the hands of such an unknown junior as Liu Xiu, why mention an immortal general?What about eternal beauty? The flames erupted in the sky and the earth, reducing human lives to zero, as if they had never been born.Those tragic corpses are just fake perjury.The dragonfly on the lotus leaf didn't have time to close its too many eyes, so it could only grit its teeth and kick its legs, determined to sink itself.When the girl covered her bright face, it might be because of mumps inflammation.When the dew finds its own crystal, it means that it is not far from being broken.

How to spend this life is really the most difficult knowledge. The weather improved slightly, and the Han army immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue separately.For a war, greater victories are often obtained through pursuit.Liu Xiu led an army, chased west for dozens of miles, and intercepted more than a hundred remnants of Yan You and Chen Mao.Yan You knew that it was meaningless to resist, so he ordered his subordinates to put down their weapons and accept the Han army's orders.The Han army was about to rush up and move their butcher's knives. Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to stop him. He beat his horse and invited Yan You, saying, "The vitality of the new dynasty is exhausted. Why don't you surrender?"

Yan You looked at Liu Xiu, thinking that in Chang'an, he was the great Sima, and Liu Xiu was just a young poor student, waiting in front of his mansion in the cold wind, just to see him .Now that the old man reunites, the situation is reversed, the status is reversed, and he has become Liu Xiu's captive. Looking back on the past, he can't bear it. He can only smile and say: "It's just a matter of turning back a million troops. Such a great achievement has never been seen in the past. But the boy actually did it. I am old, I have no surrender, and I wish to die." Liu Xiu wanted to recruit Yan You wholeheartedly, not only out of personal friendship, but for the Han army, with Yan You's talent and prestige, once he surrendered, it would undoubtedly be a great encouragement, and it would be a heavy blow to the new dynasty.So he persuaded again: "The people think of Han, and the Liu family should be revived. Duke Yan and my uncle Liu Liang are best friends. If they can vote for Han, they will be ministers of the country in the future. I hope Duke Yan thinks twice."

Yan You smiled wryly, he was already very old, he could no longer endure humiliation, and being with a group of hooligans in his eyes, he would rather die than make trouble, so he replied: "Thank you Uncle Wen for your kindness, I have made up my mind. I would rather die than surrender." Liu Xiu sighed unceasingly, Yan You had the kindness of knowing him, if he really wanted to kill Yan You, how could he do it?With a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to get out of the way, and said: "I dare not forget the kindness of that day. Lord Yan, please let me go." Yan You didn't thank you either, and led the crowd away.Not long after he left, he rode back alone and said to Liu Xiu: "I don't know when I will see you again. Before I leave, I have to say something. Although Wang Mang can't use people, it is better than the Han army's inability to tolerate people. I look at the Han army, and the small ones There are many people, and the common adversity is easy, and the common wealth is difficult. Although we have won a big victory today, there will be internal strife soon. It is better to plan ahead and take precautions early."

Liu Xiu said in horror: "Thank you, Lord Yan, for teaching me, I'll keep it in mind!" Yan You left with a whip, and Liu Xiu also withdrew his troops and returned to Kunyang.The evening wind blows strongly, the night is getting darker, and the new moon is like a hook, hanging high in the sky.Along the way, corpses were buried for more than a hundred miles, those who were trampled to death, crushed to death, frightened to death, drowned, and killed in battle.The poor bone beside the Wuding River is still the person in a girl's dream in spring. In this situation, Liu Xiu suddenly felt the sadness of the winner. Back in Kunyang, it was a busy scene. When the officers and soldiers ran away, they left all the military equipment behind. The Han army was looting under the moonlight at this moment. Liu Xiu's subordinates, fearing that the descendants would disperse, also joined the ranks of looting. Liu Xiu wanted to find Deng Feng, but found that Deng Feng had left without saying goodbye, just as he had come without telling.Liu Xiu felt extremely lonely for a while. The sudden victory seemed so incredible. Why did the millions of powerful officers and soldiers collapse in a short time?Could it be that God's will in the dark is taking care of him? After thinking about it and then having an epiphany, Liu Xiu felt hot all over. He thought he finally understood the big prophecy Cai Shaogong said. The big prophecy said: Liu Xiu should be the son of heaven.Why don't you say that Liu Xiu will be the emperor, Liu Xiu will be the emperor, and Liu Xiu will be the emperor?The difference of one word has a profound meaning.The person in charge, the meaning of the choice is very clear, God has chosen him, and will entrust the world to him.In the past, Liu Xiu, like his eldest brother Liu Yan, regarded the emperor as power, wealth and status, and as a lost honor of the family.But now, Liu Xiu understands that the son of heaven actually means responsibility, to give peace to the common people, to bring peace to all generations, to prevent the tragedy in front of him from happening again, and to keep the world free from famine and disputes. The director, those who are lonely, widowed, disabled, and sick, all have something to support... However, Liu Xiu didn't dare to think about it any more. In this prophecy, he already faintly felt an unspeakable guilt.And this strong sense of guilt even gave him the urge to commit suicide immediately.Fortunately, his brother-in-law Deng Chen arrived in time and rescued him from the abyss of self-torture.Deng Chen was fully loaded with horses and horses, and obviously gained a lot from the looting. Seeing that Liu Xiu was in a daze, he asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to take something?" Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "These are soldiers who risked their lives, so let them go." Deng Chen said: "If you don't take it, how dare your subordinates take it first?" Liu Xiu had no choice but to pick out a dark stone among the many gold and silver jewels.Deng Chen smiled and said: "Good eyesight, this is a meteorite from outside the sky. If it is used to forge a sword, it will be far better than the general Mo Xie." Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and ordered the blacksmith to forge the sword and presented it to his elder brother Liu Yan. The above is the famous battle of Kunyang in history, the most with less to win more.More than a thousand years later, brother Dongpo passed by Kunyang, touched the scenery, moved him, and left a poem "Fu of Kunyang City" for the predecessors and future generations. The poem reads:
