With more than 300,000 troops, the vanguard had arrived at Hangu Pass, and the rear army's tail was still at Baqiao. This time, the court had already escaped, and all the soldiers and strong men were ordered to recruit the soldiers and men in the Taoist state, including flags and baggage, thousands of miles away.

On the day of its destruction, it was truly said that "the prosperity of chariots, armor, soldiers and horses has never been there since ancient times." They were named "The Five Powerful Army of Tigers" by Wang Mang and were highly expected.

As a result, almost two households, three households and one post in Guanzhong were taken away, leaving only 40,000 people in the eight Northern Army ranks. The new General Ning Shi Shi Chen was commanded by Shi Chen to guard the capital. This daughter of Shi Chen has been identified as the new queen by the emperor and is preparing to marry Chongxi next month. The relative of the Han Dynasty, Shi family, has now become a relative of the new dynasty, and is his own.

The sixth lieutenant people had been over-selected, and the soldiers located in Shangjun, northern and Longyou had no time to catch up with the army of Wangyi, so they could only gather one after another, and together with the young and strong refugees who were captured as strong men, waiting for the fifth reunion to be led by the "Restoration Gong": the emperor had agreed to the request of the fifth reunion to bring eight hundred officials and soldiers into the pass, and sent people to quickly order them to come.

"The fifth son Cao, the young man from Huangkou, won by luckily, how could he be called a master?"

Wang Yi disagreed with the emperor's superstitious belief in "the fifth reunion can defeat Liu and Li's false prophecy". He has always been disagreeing with Yan You and has many disputes in the court. Now that Yan You is defeated in the south, the emperor actually pins his hopes on the fifth reunion, who has learned several volumes of military books from Yan You, which is really hard to understand.

Dasikong has compared himself to Zhou Yafu in the Han Dynasty. He was ordered to go out of the pass to pacify the rebellion of the seven kingdoms. He has been hiding for many years and has been looking forward to this opportunity. Now everything is ready, only one person is left.

But the emperor was unwilling to let Wang Yi wait in Guanzhong. The green forest had already taken the front team, leaving only Yan You from Wancheng and Cen Peng to hold on. The Han soldiers even had the remaining strength to send troops to attack the left team in the north (Yingchuan County). The emergencies in various places were flying like snowflakes, which made Emperor Wang Mang even more anxious and ordered Wang Yi to go out quickly.

Fortunately, when Wang Yi escorted his army to Xinfeng, the man was still recruited from his hometown.

"Duke Longxin, Duke Chen Meng is summoned!"

"Please!"

Wang Yi threw away the military letter and laughed out of the camp gate. He saw that the person was an old man with an old man with long hair on his temples than his beard. He was enlisted to the army and looked reluctant.

Wang Yi took a few steps forward and helped him not to bow down: "Marty Jiawei, it's been a long time since I saw you!"

This person is a famous "Confucian hero" in Guanzhong. Du Ling and Chen Zun were called the two heroes of Guanzhong together with Maoling Yuanshe. The only difference is that Yuanshe was mostly mixed with the underworld, while Chen Zun was mixed with the Taoist Taoist, and was the prefect of Henan in the Han Dynasty, and made great contributions to Wang Mang's establishment.

Wang Yi liked to deal with heroes very much, and asked someone to arrange seats to Chen Zunkangli, so he would not be too arrogant because he lost his official position now. When Chen Zunqian said that he would only cause chaos in the army, Wang Yi smiled and said, "More than ten years ago, Zhai Yi was in chaos in the east. I was ordered to fight, but there was also turmoil in Guanzhong. The local thieves in Huaili went to Peng, Huo Hong and others rebelled. At that time, Chen Gong served as the lieutenant and pacified him in one fell swoop."

"Now that chaos is rising again, I need Mr. Chen to fight against the enemy with me!"

Chen Zun is not as old as before, but Wang Yi said: "In life, there are often critical things. Once someone is in a hurry, he knocks on the door for help, and does not leave because he has relatives at home, and does not refuse because he is not at home. What people in the world look up to have Ji Xin and Ju Meng in ancient times, but in this world, only Maoling Yuanshe and Chen Gong are you."

"Now that the red eyebrows and the green forest are in trouble, Your Majesty then avenged a hero. Yuan She has been appointed as the Grand Priest of Zhenrong (Northern Land), and how can we lose Duke Chen in our army?"

Wang Yi did not expect Chen Zun to kill people by the same age as before, and he would throw away his poems and books, nor did he ask for advice. He just wanted to imitate Zhou Yafu's enlistment of heroes and opera Meng. Chen Zun was the prefect of Henan and was very famous there. Wang Yi thought that his army would have to capture some Ding Zhuang as a supplement in Luoyang and Henan, and this old man would be able to help.

Chen Zun refused but had to accept the promise. When Wang Yi left Xinfeng the next day and drove eastward, an urgent report was also sent to the army, about his younger wife's brother Dou Rong.

"General Boshui is defeated again, and the Green Forest thieves have captured Kunyang City, the left team!"

...

The Green Forest Army captured Yingchuan and was one of the commanders of the Green Forest Qu. The suggestion of Wang Chang from Yingchuan native, he wanted to fight back to his hometown for a long time.

But the one who truly explained this strategy and won the recognition of everyone was Liu Xiu, who served as the "General of Jinwu".

"Yingchuan was the ancient Han area. This county controlled Ru, Luo, and Huai, Si in the west, and the boats and vehicles gathered together. It was transported to the easy-to-transport. It took the food and fodder so that the army could eat separately without exhausting the food in Wanxia. Yingchuan had many heroes and heroes, and their accents and customs were similar to Nanyang, so it was easier for us to join our army than other counties."

"In addition, Yingchuan is the gateway to Nanyang, and there are many obstacles from mountain stream passes. If the new army in Luoyang wants to aid Wancheng in the south, they must go to Yingchuan. There are only two roads from Ying to Wan. The terrain of Luyang Pass in the west is dangerous and the army is difficult to move. Instead, it is not as easy as Kunyang City in the east."

Management of Yingru was an idea that Liu Xiu had come to the early days. When he was traveling with officials last year, he came to this area to make friends with heroes, understand the scenery, and memorize the mountains and geography. He especially remembers Kunyang City, and knows that he must seize it before the New Dynasty takes action to suppress it!

Kunyang is the place where Ye County was in ancient times, where Ye Gong Haolong appeared, and the northern gateway of Chu State was known as "Wan and Ye".

"Wan'an is there, and if there are no leaves, Nanyang will also die, like lips and teeth. During the Spring and Autumn Period of the Chu State, Ye Gong was stationed here for two hundred years without any worries. As for the Warring States Period, Ye land was seized by the Three Jin Dynasties, and Wan land was gradually eroded."

Liu Xiu's words won praise from everyone. Although he was not as good as his brother in charge, his strategic vision was even better than Liu Bosheng.

So Liu Bosheng and others besieged Wancheng, while Liu Xiu followed Wang Feng, the "Shanggong Duke of Chengguo", as well as the nine generals of the Gengshi regime such as Wang Chang, Ma Wu, Li Yi, Deng Chen, and other nine ministers of the Gengshi regime. They led the Jiang army and the Chongling army 20,000 soldiers to attack Yingchuan in the north. After encountering obstacles under Kunyang for more than ten days, they captured the city.

Standing at the top of the city, Kunyang is not as dangerous as Luyang, but it is not bad. It just stole the famous "Fangcheng Mountain" dangerous gap. The Huanghuai Plain is in the north and the Nanyang Basin is in the south. It is really a key place for the throat.

After taking down this city, Wang Feng and others were quite content. However, Liu Xiu clearly realized: "Dou Zhou Gong had two thousand soldiers and retreated to this place. If he had not been determined to preserve his strength and did not want to fight us to death, otherwise, he could take ten of the dangers of Kunyang, and it would be difficult to seize them."

After Kunyang was down, at Liu Xiu's suggestion, Wang Feng personally guarded the place to ensure that it was not lost. He sent an army to advance eastward to capture Dingling and Yancheng, thinking that it was the horn of Kunyang.

He and Ma Wu and Wang Chang led ten thousand troops northwards to pursue Dou Rong, who had no intention of fighting with the Han soldiers, and took a few places such as Father City, Xiangcheng and other places to control the Rushui main roads. They could not only threaten the county's Yangdi, but also learn any news about the new army's southward advance, so that the main forces of the Han army in Kunyang and Wancheng would be prepared.

As the army was moving northward, Liu Xiu summoned several generals who commanded the thousands of people, such as Zhu You, Chen Jun, and others, and came to the bottom of the day and made a statement with them in advance.

"The generals of the Green Forest were violent and offensive to the people when they were in Nanyang. Now they all return to the Han flag, and they cannot strictly enforce military discipline as they did in the past. They dare to violate the surnames and those who are strong and powerful, and those who are strong and the people will be killed! If they capture the city and obtain the treasury, they will all be distributed to everyone!"

"We entered Yingchuan and were a guest army, but only 20,000 people. We want to compete with the new army here. The victory or defeat depends on the people of Yingchuan's hearts and consent to the Han Dynasty."

Although the Han Dynasty of Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan was different from what Liu Xiu expected, he could not write two Chinese characters in one stroke. If this sign of "people's minds of Han" can be used well, it would be enough to achieve twice the result with half the effort, but he must not be ruined at the beginning!

For some reason, Liu Xiu always had a premonition.

"The decisive battle is coming soon!"

...

It is not only Wang Yi and Liu Xiu who are preparing for the "decisive battle" but also the fifth reunification.

The Wei land was full of troops in Yecheng and was inspected under the inspection of the fifth official, but this was clearly not the day of Qiu School?

The reason for the fifth relationship is very sufficient. He wanted to join the troops of Beijing to "support the king and fight against the thieves" in the permanent army in Wei.

These 800 people must be the elite among the elites, and everyone can be a sergeant and the commander to command. After entering the pass, after receiving the conscription promised by Wang Mang, the number of people changed to 8,000 or even 40,000, relying on the management of these direct soldiers, he could still retain some combat power.

The fifth reunion was wearing military uniform and stood at the top of the city to review. The guards who had experienced the fierce battle with the Red Eyebrow changed into new clothes and carried skinned shields to wipe their swords brightly. The crossbow soldiers also held crossbows and shot, and ten strong men stood around the fifth reunion with flags. The flag fluttered in the wind, but the heroes did not move at all.

As the first drum beat sounded, the various groups lined up again and spread left and right, presenting a combat queue.

After the second drum, the soldiers held swords and shields in the front row, and spears and halberds in the back row. They listened to the orders. When they heard the drum, they advanced. When they hit the drums, they hit them. When they stopped when they were gold, they retreated when they were heavy. For a time, the swords and shields were like mountains and spears were like forests, which was spectacular.

The three drums and four drums had passed, and the soldiers had sweat faintly on their foreheads, but they were still gathering again quickly. As the fifth heavy drum sounded, they began to line up, walked past the city one by one, and turned their heads and shouted loudly at the head of the city.

"According to the order to fight the thief!"

Wang Mang's edict has no effect on them. Whoever eats or whoever listens to his "edict"? As for who is the thief, it is also the fifth relationship.

Thousands of people shouted, terrifying the sky, making people's scalp numb.

The powerful Wei lands who were invited by the Fifth Reun to observe the military formation were all sweating profusely, and Ximen Yanshou and his son were also among them.

Since the spring plowing, the Fifth Reunion has intensified training for soldiers who have experienced bloody battles with the Red Eyebrow. Now the thousands of regular soldiers under his command, even the group that was recruited at the latest, has been trained for more than half a year, and they are all out of production! Many people have also been assigned to the land and are devoted to the Fifth Reunion, and no longer have the early scattered appearance.

One drum is used to reorganize the army, two drums are used to practice the food, three drums are used to fight for food, four drums are used to argue, and five drums are enough. Hearing the sound of the drums, then raising the flag, and under the practice of the fifth reunion and Ma Yuan, he is really a bit of a strong military posture. Even if the fifth reunion is not there, relying on these soldiers and the powerful armed forces together, Ma Yuan will definitely not be able to do anything to him.

Taking advantage of the shock of the Wei family's surnames, the fifth reunion asked Wang Long, the official envoy of the court, to stand up and announce something for himself.

"Recently, Your Majesty has ordered the alchemist to calculate the ancestral tomb of the ancestral city of Huyuan City to make a statement."

"The Ximen is to protect him, and Shalu is tolerant."

Wu Lun took the conversation and said with a smile: "Shalu is the Emperor Temple in Yuancheng. As the name suggests, this Ximen is naturally the three hometowns. Therefore, the emperor ordered the king's envoy to pass oral instructions, asking me to move the Ximen clan to Yuancheng and live in the west of Wulu City to guard the imperial temple!"

The foundation of the powerful is its fortress, and its in-laws with scattered roots. Moving the zodiac to another place to take care of it is equivalent to twisting the head, and the remaining zodiac will have a group of wolves without a head.

Unexpectedly, this knife hit him on the head. Ximen Yanshou, who was once the three elders of the county, felt inexplicable. Although the Han Dynasty had a system of relocating tombs, it was abolished after Yuancheng, and the new dynasty was unique.

He didn't know the reason for this disaster, so he didn't dare to refuse directly in front of thousands of soldiers. He just asked carefully: "Ming Gong, who did this divination? It's really strange."

Anyway, if the pass is closed, those who have no rules cannot enter and exit, and the traffic between the east and west will be cut off. The fifth brother is so brave that he has endorsed his letter with his brother Wang Long, and he is not afraid of false oral transmission, so he said in surprise:

"Did the three elders still not know?"

"The one who made this occupation was the relative of the Jun family, Ximen Junhui, who was the disciple of the General of the Guard in the court!"
