In the official narratives of Liu Xiu and the Han, Wang Mang was a traitor of the Ukrainian! But although the Fifth Reun used public opinion to kill Wang Mang, he later gave the old man a posthumous title and recognized the orthodox status of the Xin Dynasty. Just like King Wu of Zhou chopped off Emperor Xin's head, it did not prevent the Zhou Dynasty from thinking that he had inherited the Xia Shang Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, the title of Wang Mang should be "Xin Kuayi Emperor". This is the posthumous title given to Wang Mang by Huan Tan of the Fifth Reunification, but most of the courts and the people called him directly.

The loyal ministers of Daxin in this world have long disappeared, and the only one who can respect Wang Mang as the late emperor is probably Ju Wuba.

In Ju Wuba's heart, Wang Mang was not a traitor, but a monarch who had the kindness of knowing him. His service to Wang Mang was initially to repay his kindness. Later, Wang Mang became a poor old man who struggled to seek peace but was bleeding from his head. Ju Wuba became a little more pitiful to him.

So when Wang Mang was taken to Chang'an, Ju Wuba had clearly been pardoned by the fifth reunion and allowed him to leave on his own, but he still stubbornly followed the team, just asking for the last trip to send Old Wang Mang, and even got a concession to meet Wang Mang several times.

In this way, Ju Wuba happened to witness the transformation before Wang Mang's death. From the madness of "It's not Yu, but the whole world", he was slowly defeated by the murder of the fifth reunion, and began to accept the fact that he had turned the country into such a bad thing.

But despair reached its limit, but some expectations were breeding. When Ju Wuba told Wang Mang that what he saw near Chang'an, all places were slowly restoring order, as if they were back in the Tianfeng period, Wang Mang was also sighing and said...

"Guan Zhong is not a benevolent person! Duke Huan of Qi killed his lord, Prince Jiu. Not only did Guan Zhong not commit suicide, he became a minister of Duke Huan. He was very greedy and kind, not frugal, and even did not respect him. However, Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan, combined with the princes, and helped the world, and saved Xing and Wei. People from Xia have received his gifts so far. Even Confucius said, "My little Guan Zhong, I am wearing a left-sided hair!"

"The fifth relationship is also a villain who is unkind and unvirtuous! But it can bring the national government back to the situation before the chaos."

Acknowledge ability and deny private morality. By the day when Wang Mang came to the Dragon Slaying Platform, his mentality changed even more. When Ju Wuba met him for the last time, Old Wang Mang did not have the grief, fear and anger of death, but only murmured something...

"Is it the only fifth relationship that can continue to be aspirations?"

When he said goodbye to Ju Wuba, he even said to him: "The fifth relationship may really make up for my big mistakes and make the world peaceful... If the general does not want to return to the wilderness, he may help him under his command, so that that day will come soon, and also see the peaceful world for me."

I don’t know if this is a crazy talk, but one of them dares to say it and the other dares to respond. Ju Wuba bowed and bowed to Wang Mang’s back and slapped his head three times, saying, “I, accept the promise!”

Then he found the fifth reunion and expressed his intention to continue serving his life. The fifth reunion was generous. He gave Ju Wuba a lot of rewards on the grounds of "being loyal to the Lord", and then waved his hand...

He sent Ju Wuba far away to the east.

"This is the reason why I fought for Emperor Wei."

After telling his own story, Ju Wuba took a sip of wine and toasted Li Zhong: "So what about Governor Li?"

"I……"

Li Zhong sighed, raised the wine bottle, and met Ju Wuba for a moment: "When he was in Hebei, Li Zhong thought he had met the son of destiny, but finally found that it was just a fake."

Liu Ziyu's "heroic and magical martial arts" once gave Li Zhong hope, but when Liu Ziyu met the real dragon, he quickly revealed his prototype: he could not deceive the world by cheating.

The Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed and Liu Ziyu was disgraced, but Li Zhong still wanted to continue to live and move on.

He raised the volume: "But Li Zhong's long-cherished wish to make the world good morning is by no means a false act. Only under the command of Emperor Wei can this wish be realized."

He didn't say everything, but Ju Wuba was straightforward and told the truth for him:

"That's right. We are not loyal to the Emperor Wei, but we just have a wish, so we will do our best."

Ju Wuba stood up, lifted the curtain of the barracks, and looked back: "Governor Li doesn't have to worry about whether I have something to do with the Red Eyebrow, and I will be ruthless to him. I have seen the real Red Eyebrow back then."

He thought of the giant standing tall and red eyebrows: "But since Fan Chong was captured, the Red Eyebrow Army has faded!"

...

"The red eyebrows are no longer the red eyebrows of the past."

South of Qufu and on the banks of Sishui, Liu Penzi, who had worked as a cow official in the Red Eyebrow Army, also expressed such feelings.

Let’s talk about half a year ago, Liu Penzi received Feng Yan’s assistance in Wancheng. After meeting the fifth reunion, he was attracted by Emperor Wei. Fortunately, he became a Langguan, and was about to rise to the top!

But Liu Penzi stayed with the emperor for a few months, and then was sent to an institution embroidered ward that he had not expected in advance.

Liu Penzi inexplicably became Zhang Yu's subordinate. Zhang Duwei was granted the title of uncle with his merits on the southern line. On the first day of Liu Penzi's arrival, he explained his greatness to Cao, a child who had worked for Feng Yan and Cen Peng.

"You ask me what the embroidered yarn guard is doing? Now let me tell you, I will take care of the cases that the Prime Minister cannot control, and I will take care of the relationship that Feng Jingtong cannot hold on to the outside world! The imperial power is granted, and then report it. This is the embroidered yarn guard, is it clear?"

Of course, the power of the embroidered yaku is not as exaggerated as Zhang Yubiao, but their status in the war is far beyond that of the large-scale official office. Whenever a war occurs, this institution will send a large number of spies to launch pro-Wei people to conduct affairs. This strategy has been tried and proved and has achieved miraculous results in Jingchu and Qingzhou.

And now, it’s Ludi’s turn!

Lu is the center of Confucianism, but in contrast to its cultural status, it is a rather awkward strategic position. Staying away from the strategic hub makes this place a useless place. Mount Tai and surrounding hills surrounded Lu area, ensuring the independence of this place. Whether it is the Warring States Period or the Chu and Han Dynasties, this is almost the last unified area in the Central Plains.

But the "solidity of mountains and rivers" in Lu are not as good as Qi. At least there is Mount Tai as the screen in the north, and the Yimeng Mountains in the east. To the west, you can only rely on swamps such as Oyeze to delay the enemy. The most important thing is that in the south, there is a "risk of Kangfu" that is also a place where one man is at the pass, and a centuries are at the end of their opening. It’s a pity that this pass is now...

Now it is controlled by the Wei army!

Therefore, in this Lu area, the Wei army almost wanted to advance, and the Fifth Reun still chose a strategy of advancing multiple troops: Li Zhong and Ju Wuba troops were ordered to approach Mount Tai as the northern line, and Yanzhou also sent troops to go out to Kangfu Pass to advance northward to protect the flanks of the army that attacked Xuzhou.

At the same time, the Xiuyiwei sent people to Shandong to contact local reactionary forces in order to subvert the small regime of the Red Eyebrow Army from within.

Zhang Yu looked at it again and again in his list, but he actually picked Liu Penzi.

"Why is it me?" Liu Penzi still failed to adapt to the officialdom and even refuted his boss: "Emperor Zhang Duwei, I have only been to the Embroidered Uniform Guard for two months, and I have not even learned all kinds of secret codes, let alone bringing people deep into the enemy territory."

His eyes were wandering on his seniors, but no one stood up to speak for Liu Penzi.

Zhang Yu gave two reasons that Liu Penzi could not refuse: "As a descendant of King Jing of Chengyang, Ru was once named "Shihou" in his family. He was a prominent noble in Lu, and his relatives and old officials were spread all over the two counties."

Liu Penzi nodded.

Zhang Yu said again: "Later, the Red Eyebrow Army destroyed the Shihou Kingdom, and the two brothers were abducted and moved to exile for several years. They are quite familiar with the Red Eyebrow Army."

With the two combined, Liu Penzi became the most suitable candidate. In the Embroidered Uniform Guard, those who dare to resist were managed by military law, Zhang Yu could even kill directly. It was too late for Liu Penzi to ask for help from his teacher Huan Tan. The 18-year-old boy could only bite his teeth and respond to this matter.

Fortunately, the experience of a man in Wei Huang has gained knowledge after several months of experience. He learned a lot of things in the embroidered yarn guards. Before leaving, Liu Penzi made a detailed plan. After leaving Kang's father, the first thing he did to his subordinates was...

"Pulu Red Eyebrow!"

...

Ochre is the most common and easiest dye. Lower your head, and you often step on reddish-brown soil under your feet.

Digging some ochre soil and mixing it with water in a pottery bowl, it became the simplest dye. Liu Benzi also guided his subordinates with great experience: "You and you have too much water, but you have too much ochre soil, no more or less, and each of them is the best five points."

There are rules when wiping, and Liu Penzi demonstrated for them: "Two fingers of the right hand are straightened, dipped in a few ochre mud, and slowly apply them on their foreheads. Remember, first apply the left side and then apply the right side! When the Red Eyebrow Army met, there was also a wiping eyebrow ritual. If you do something wrong, your identity will definitely be suspected."

The people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard had also been spies in the past, but they were not as meticulous as Liu Penzi, which made them put away their contempt and felt that Zhang Duwei did not pick the wrong person this time.

Little did he know that Liu Penzi was full of emotion. He had been used to the red eyebrows on his forehead for a time, but now he is destroying them as an enemy, so he naturally feels mixed emotions.

Since Kang's father advanced north, they slowly groped north along the Sishui River. The closer they were to Qufu, the more red eyebrows there were. Fortunately, Liu Penzi and others spoke Yanzhou dialect and spoke familiar dialect with the Red Eyebrow Army who met him, and made standard eyebrow wiping ceremony. When he was questioned about his three elders, he had learned about Xu Xuan's subordinates in advance and could also answer questions. Almost no one could see through the Red Eyebrows he encountered along the way.

But Liu Penzi began to wonder if the other party was really a red eyebrows?

He spent his youth in this army of refugees, but now, Liu Penzi doesn't know the Red Eyebrow Army in Lu...

When Fan Chong was in power, although the Red Eyebrow Army was quite unequal, it was at least "brothers and sisters". But now, the Red Eyebrow soldiers from various battalions have almost become slaves and private relatives of the three old men of Red Eyebrows. The upper layer of Red Eyebrows is openly wearing silk and satin, and is full of heart. He lives in a big house, and the Red Eyebrows on the bottom layer is as thin as beggars.

What's even more exaggerated is that after Xu Xuan entered Shandong, he married the daughter of Kong and Yan, and became the son-in-law of the two Confucian clans. Not only that, he also promoted the marriage of the upper class of the Red Eyebrow and the powerful. In just one and a half years, a series of marriages were born. The faster the second child was almost born...

Before they knew it, the Red Eyebrow Army had become the person they once hated the most!

"It's changed, it's all changed."

Liu Penzi walked along the way, as if he saw the bright blood red on the Red Eyebrows' foreheads, which were soaking and fading little by little, and finally became in the world. He abandoned the name of Red Eyebrows, which was almost the same as the warlords such as Zhang Bu and Qin Feng!

No, not even as good as them!

Those powerful people started their own business with some background, but the Red Eyebrow Army established a four-dimensional regime in Lu: Xu claimed that Duke Lu and the Three Elders of Red Eyebrow were county magistrates and township men under them. However, this foreign feudal system had no culture and did not know how to govern. After losing its grassroots nature, it could not get support from the poor people in the left and left, and could not control the place at all. He could only rely on local tycoons to maintain rule and seize the pitiful harvest in the small civilians.

The alliance between the remnants of the Red Eyebrows and the Lu Di nobles was only based on a fragile marriage relationship. As Liu Penzi and his party arrived, this endless relationship was about to collapse!

The joint is on the banks of Sishui near Qufu. It is said that it is the place where Confucius and his disciples go out for spring. Although it is winter, the woods here are still dense and can cover up secret activities.

After arriving in this forest, Liu Penzi asked his subordinates to mingle in Qufu. Late at night, the other party went to the meeting as scheduled.

The person who came was a young man in his twenties, named Kong Zhi, who was the 16th generation descendant of Confucius. He was the eldest son of Baocheng Hou in the contemporary era. He was not as tall as his ancestors and was quite short. He wore a wide robe and big sleeves and a sable coat on his face. He changed his past. This kind of person was the first to be killed by the Red Eyebrow, but now he has become a high-ranking official in Xu Xuan.

However, the Kong family did not appreciate it at all: the Kong family and Yan family were inherited from the saint for more than ten generations and hundreds of years. Even the descendants of Liu Bang, they may not be worthy of it, let alone the Red Eyebrow thief?

After Kong Zhi saw Liu Binzi, he was filled with a series of complicated etiquettes to express his joy of "will finally meet the envoy of the Great Wei Dynasty today". However, when he saw the firelight reflected a very young face, he was stunned again, and then he was displeased as he was neglected. He bowed his hand slightly and looked at him squintly:

"Why is the envoy of Wei... so young? I wonder how old is?"

Liu Penzi was not used to Kong Zhi. He was no longer the little cowherd boy he used to be. He had experienced life and death exile and was fortunate to be a disciple of Huan Tan, and even worked as a lie with the emperor. How could he be afraid of you?

"There are thirteen envoys from Ganluo in the distance, and the 20th envoys from the Zhongjun. As His Majesty's Officer and the Embroidered Commander, what's wrong with being younger?"

Liu Pengzi was neither humble nor arrogant. As soon as he opened his mouth, he scolded Kong Zhi so hard that he was almost unconscious.
