Chapter 686 Old Love
The sun was drooping west, but the battle that lasted for the whole day had not stopped. After discovering a series of brightly colored kites above the Changban camp, the morale suddenly increased and repelled Wang Chang and Jia Fu's attacks.
Liu Xiu heard that it was used for communication in the Wei army. Relying on the Thousand Mile Mile Mile, you can see situations more than ten miles away. Different colors and shapes of kites represent different messages. Liu Xiu didn’t know the specific “Zin language”, but he also guessed that it was probably because reinforcements arrived...
After a while, several Wei cavalry arrived at the edge of Dangyang Bridge with Zuoyu flag, claiming to be the envoy of the fifth reunion of the Emperor of Wei. The cavalry commander Dou Gu came to see Liu Xiu at the emperor's order and conveyed the imperial edict.
The young Dou Gu was disarmed, even his armor and sword were removed, and he entered the enemy camp alone. Along the way, all his eyes looked at him with hatred. The Han soldiers held the spear and sword halberd in their hands, and could stab the northern child to death at any time, but Dou Gu did not fall into the state, and walked into Liu Xiu's tent with his head held high and his chest held high. Facing the old enemy of the fifth reunion, he just pushed his hands and bowed in vain, neither humble nor arrogant!
"The Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, ordered the cavalry commander Dou Gu to ask the King of Wu for his good health!"
"Bold!" Everyone in the tent was furious and drew their swords and blades to force Dou Gu to kneel down. Liu Xiu stopped them and said, "What a young man."
The fifth oral order is not important, it is nothing more than an invitation to Liu Xiu to fight. The manifesto was already in his hands when he was searching. It was smelly and long, and it was mostly a ghostwriter of the imperial literati, which made people unbearable to read. Liu Xiu's attention was completely attracted by the "token" brought by Dou Gu's order.
This is a jade ring, which is not very good in color. In addition, it is a light yellow color, but the pattern on it looks familiar: one stem and nine ears.
He pondered this object in his palm and looked at it over and over again several times. The jade ring gradually became hotter and a familiar feeling came to his face. Yes, this was his close-fitting jade ring that had accompanied him for more than twenty years...
Although Liu Xiu was from Nanyang, he was born in Jiyang County, Chenliu County under Yanzhou. His father was there at that time. That year, the Han Dynasty under Emperor Ai was already full of famines, and the people died seven times, but Jiyang County was ripe with millet and wheat, and even "auspiciousness" appeared!
It was a rare nine-eared wheat seedling, growing strong and upright, swaying in the wind.
In addition to reporting this incident routinely to please the court, County Magistrate Liu returned to the county, and Mrs. Fan happened to give birth to a healthy and lovely boy. This is the third child of the Liu Liang family. He faded his wrinkled appearance in a few days and looked handsome. County Magistrate Liu was extremely happy. Thinking of the auspicious Jiahe, was this a sign?
"Jiahe is the most beautiful. "Shengmin" says that it is really beautiful and solid... I will just call you 'Liu Xiu'."
Later, my father asked someone to make this jade ring, tied it to Liu Xiu. The nine-sized jade ring grew up with him little by little, went to Chang'an Imperial College, fled back home, and planned a rebellion with his brothers and friends... The eldest brother Liu Bosheng heard that Wang Mang sent the fifth reunion as the doctor, went to Xindu, Nanyang to escort several princes into the capital, and even planned to take people to rob and kill.
Liu Xiu strongly opposed it. He believed that the fifth reunion had been treated harshly by the Xin Dynasty and even had a grudge against the army. He could fight for it, not to do things for Wang Mang sincerely. Liu Xiu wanted to leave a chance to win the fifth reunion to join the "Dayi of Restoration of Han", so he asked the servants to drive a car to chase the delegation, carrying a hu of embarrassing and thirty kilograms of chicken. He also felt that this was too light and difficult for people to remember, so he took off the jade ring he wore and asked the disciple to accompany him to send it to him...
Since then, Yu Jue left Liu Xiu, and it has been more than ten years since then.
By the way, how did the Fifth Reunification reply to him?
"A gentleman is like jade, and his tentacles are warm. This jade enters my arms, and I feel as if I am attached to Uncle Wen's hand."
The fifth reunion happily accepted it and took off the jade sword nose of the sword and gave it back. However, when Liu Xiu was suspicious of Gengshi, he hurriedly threw it away. Time passed and there was no way to find it.
He came back to his senses from his memories, raised his head and stared at Dou Gu. It should have been the second year of the Earth Emperor. The fifth relationship was no older than the young cavalry commander in front of him.
Now, Liu Xiucai believed that the fifth reunion had really arrived. No wonder Cen Peng's troops suddenly became excited. He only smiled and picked up the jade ring: "This thing, the fifth fish, is still there."
Dou Gu truthfully reposted the fifth reunion: "Your Majesty said that the Five Powers and the Mansion's clamor for a long time, and he never forgot his old friendship. It's a pity that the different ways of doing things are not planned, and the Han cannot be restored, and Wei will rule the world. The King of Wu insisted on resisting stubbornly, just like the mantis's angry arm as the rut, and he will be incompetent, and in the end he can only be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel of the Great Wei!"
He repeated the bluff of the "Eighty-Hundred Thousand Army", as if this was the unstoppable "wheel", and once again invited Liu Xiu to fight for the fifth reunion.
"Hahaha, although the mantis arm is small, it can even break the wheel of rotten wood." Liu Xiu laughed loudly, stopped everyone in the tent from being furious, and threw the jade ring to Dou Gu: "Go back and tell your master, leave the jade ring for a few more days. When Xiu Chi's army defeats, he will capture the fifth reunion alive, and reminisce about the wine with him, and then return this thing to me with his own hands!"
"Is the King of Wu agreeing to the battle?"
Liu Xiu never answered, but asked everyone to bombard Dou Gu.
Dou Gu did not leave. He stood firm with his feet, looked at the generals and sermons in Liu Xiu's tent, and asked loudly: "Who is Liu Long and Liu Yuanbo?"
Everyone looked at the person standing beside Liu Xiu. The general's face was as red as a date, but his thick beard was a little whiter than when he was in Hexi. This was caused by the hard work of Liu Long riding alone from Liangzhou to join Liu Xiu.
Dou Gu left Hexi as a "hostage" of the Dou family and was young when he left Hexi and sent him to Chang'an. He had never seen Liu Long, but he guessed that he was a red-faced general, so he bowed and said, "Dou Gu replaced Your Majesty, the governor of Liangzhou, and his father, the prefect of Wuwei, say hello to General Liu!"
It is true that Liu Long was the leader of the Wuweishi Mingfu who followed the eighth Jiao to help the Wuren. He also had a grudge with Dou Gu's father, Dou Gu's local snake in Hexi. Dou Gu insisted on asking them goodbye. But at this time, the tent insiders looked at each other with different expressions, and Liu Long's face turned redder.
There is a reason. When Liu Long saw the collapse of the "Western Han Dynasty", Wei Xiang was revealed and had no intention of restoring the Han Dynasty. He was disheartened and handed over Liangzhou to the Eighth Jiao. Liu Xiu, who was starting a business in the southeast of Nantou. After all, as a hard-core restoring the Han Dynasty, he must be worthy of his surname.
However, Liangzhou was thousands of miles away from Jiangdong. Liu Long hid his name and wandered around Shu. He encountered the continuous wars in Jianghan and Han, and was even forced to detour Jingnan. It took several years to arrive at the Han court. At that time, Liu Zhi had already died in Pengcheng. Liu Xiu respected Liu Long. Although he did not bring any soldiers, he was still respected as the leader of the royal family and was named "General of the Assistant Han".

It happened that Gongsun Shu colluded with the Xiongnu and the Western Qiang to invade the northern border. Liu Xiu's ministers and generals hoped to seize the opportunity to seize Jianghan and recover Huaibei in one fell swoop. Only Liu Long persuaded him with the righteousness of Huarong. Although Liu Xiu and Deng Yu and others finally discussed and decided to recuperate, the ministers believed that the suspension of the Northern Expedition was on Liu Long's head...
Now, Liu Long was even more excluded. Except for a few people like Deng Yu, he had not even many friends. He could only be an isolated minister of the royal family and had little say.
Dou Gu's words now made many people look at Liu Long. After all, they just received news: General Pang Meng, who was trusted by Liu Xiu, bravely joined Wei, which made Geng Bozhao go straight in. In addition to Liu Xiu's regret and consciously misjudged the people, everyone in the Han camp was in danger. They always felt that there were still Wei spies hidden, and aliens like Liu Long who joined halfway would naturally be suspected.
Liu Long had no way to explain. Fortunately, after Dou Gu was driven out, Liu Xiu smiled and relieved him: "Dou Gu often serves the fifth reunion and learns bad things. At a young age, he can even use a trick of discord."
Liu Long breathed a little relieved, but after what happened just now, he had already been persuaded to say something, but it was difficult to say something. Once it was revealed, it would be even more criticized by thousands of people!
But he couldn't help but bow to Liu Xiu: "I have something to do, I want to report it to Your Majesty!"
Several Liu Xiu's Yuan Cong's generals and school members had already suspected that they had joined Liu Long, and their eyes frequently hinted, but Liu Xiu turned a blind eye to it and still sent everyone away, leaving only Liu Long: "What's the matter if Yuan Bo just wanted to say?"
Liu Long was honest and could not hide the matter. He immediately blurted out: "Although I am the middle-aged man, I am loyal to the heart of the Han Dynasty, and the sun and the moon can be seen! It is of great importance. If General Feng and General Wang are here, I will definitely persuade Your Majesty, and I dare not speak out."
He advised with great sincerity: "The fifth reunite has arrived, and our army has been in a desperate situation to attack Cen Peng for a long time. If the soldiers do not leave for a long time, they will become more and more tired, and they may be surrounded by the Wei army! You can't hesitate anymore. Your Majesty should immediately withdraw from the battlefield and retreat to Jiangling City, and order the Zhou army to take the south to make a long-term plan."
"The black cloud is coming, why don't I know it?" Liu Xiu sighed. The fifth relationship came one or two days faster than he expected, making Liu Xiu's plan to wipe out Cen Peng first.
"But the Fifth Reunification claims to be an army of 800,000 coming south, but I definitely don't believe it!"
Liu Long was anxious: "Eight hundred thousand is a claim, but even if it is only as General Fu Jun said, the fifth reunion of 100,000 people went south, our army would not be able to fight with him. Your Majesty, think about the Emperor Gao, fight for the world, and cannot advance and retreat due to the gains and losses of one place!"
"No, 100,000, 80,000 people should be gathered when they leave Lankou." Liu Xiu did not have the intention of being lucky. He was just calmly analyzing: "The army that seeks profit for fifty miles has arrived, let alone two hundred miles? According to the fifth relationship, if you have the advantage of military strength, you must first rob our rear with cavalry. The infantry army quietly encircled us and wiped us out in one fell swoop. Why send an envoy to fight first? It's really a big deal!"
According to Liu Xiu's years of experience in fighting with Di Wulun, this guy has no awareness of a noble and gentleman fighting in the Spring and Autumn Period, but instead has a lot of soldiers' tricks!
"Therefore, at most, 10,000 or even 8,000 around him!"
Liu Xiu boldly predicted: "To order Dou Gu to send a letter of war is just a bluff, trying to make the Han army flee at night, so that he can remove Cen Peng's siege without fighting and joining forces. There are also 150 miles to Jiangling, with many cavalry in the Wei army, and Geng Bozhao behind him, and some are able to pursue and intercept."
Liu Xiu came to the conclusion: "It's too late to get out of here!"
Liu Long was shocked, and Liu Xiu's thinking was farther away than him. Seeing that the Han general was in desperate situation, he asked for an order: "As a royal family, I have been south for many years, and have been appointed as a general, and enjoyed wealth and honor, but I have no merits and cannot serve him. Your Majesty, I am willing to lead five thousand people to cut off the rear for Your Majesty and block the fifth relationship!"
There was no way. After Liu Long entered the Han Dynasty, he was excluded by Yingchuan, Green Forest and Jiangdong. He was named General, but he did not have his own troops and could only rely on Liu Xiu to give military power.
Liu Xiu still shook his head: "Bo Yuan has great courage, but it should not be used on jade shatters."
"The fifth replies are expected to retreat, but he still doesn't understand me enough."
Liu Long was surprised: "Your Majesty means..."
Liu Xiu lifted a corner of the camp and looked outside. Today, the moon and stars are sparse, which is a good weather for night battles.
He put down the curtain and returned to the tent, looking at Liu Long with bright eyes: "Yuan Bo is proficient in military tactics, so he should know why he died?"
Liu Long responded: "The so-called death place... If you don't fight quickly, you will die. If you fight quickly, you will survive!"
