Chapter 389 Not going back to the mountains with me?

The white eyebrows on Wang Mang's forehead have turned into red eyebrows.

Many years ago, Wang Mang had imagined his meeting with Fan Chong: he was still the emperor who was noble and noble, and Fan Chong was the leader of the bandit who was defeated and captured by the royal army. He bowed and confessed his guilt in front of the old emperor, and Wang Mang denounced him.

But history made a big joke for the two. Now Wang Mang is wandering among the people, and he is actually a rural old man named Tian Weng, who is careful to meet the Red Eyebrow Marshal Fan Chong.

Because he was righteous with Juwuba and captured the Green Forest Prince Zhang Su, Lao Wangmang was appointed as "engaged" by Fan Chong and continued to manage food and grass.

After paying homage to Fan Chong, Wang Mang changed his conquest and resentment towards the Red Eyebrow during his reign and praised him.

"It's so simple to take credit for but not arrogant, and it's still so simple to have an army of 300,000. General Fan Chongzhen is, no wonder he can win repeatedly!"

Compared to military talents, Wang Mang was more concerned about his personal virtues and only sighed: "If the generals of Yu can do this, why worry about not breaking the green forest?"

When they were wandering in the Red Eyebrow Army, they saw that they locked up all the members of the Liu family captured along the way in a cowshed and sent cattle to herd and mow the grass to do cool labor. Wang Mang even praised it.

After experiencing the pain of losing the country and losing the country, Wang Mang changed his previous favor to the previous dynasty and believed that the reason why the Great New Kingdom was lost was that he was too generous to the Liu family. He should have tormented them like Fan Chong!

He also heard that whenever the Red Eyebrow Army went, he would uproot the Haoyou of Fu Lianqianmo, and remembered that these people resisted the order of Wang Tian’s private subordinates. Now, like him, he had nothing, and Wang Mang felt quite happy.

The experience of being a grain official in the green forest made Wang Mang realize that if he skipped the powerful officials in the middle and dealt with the lower class directly, what he said and did would not be misinterpreted.

In the final analysis, these 300,000 red eyebrows were the poor common people who wanted to treat them well, but were blocked by Liu, ministers and Haoyou, and finally misunderstood the poor people who rose up in the new house?

Wang Mang couldn't help but think: "In ancient times, there were thieves in Qi and Lu who were rampant in the world and invaded the princes. They were buried in the caves and houses, drove people, cattle and horses, and took women. They were greedy and forgot about their relatives, ignored their parents and brothers, and did not worship their ancestors. The towns they passed by were large countries guarding the city, and small countries were insured, and all the people suffered."

"Now the red eyebrows also emerge in Qingxu Yanzhou, and Fan Chong's heart is like a spring and his mind is like a floating wind. He is strong enough to be away from the enemy, and is no different from the Tao Zhi."

"When Confucius was wise and lobbying the thief Zhu to be good at the same time, he failed. How could I convince Fan Chong to make the Red Eyebrow benefit the world and not harm the world?"

While thinking, he saw hundreds of red-eyed soldiers in front of him, and more and more people around him gathered. With a chanting, he knelt down one after another, allowing Wang Mang to see the situation in the center clearly.

However, it was a disheveled wizard, who was pretending to be a ghost, thrusting around, drinking a bowl of fresh chicken blood, and suddenly shouted:

"I'm under King Jing of Chengyang!"

Of course, Wang Mang knew that King Jing of Chengyang and Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Zhuxu in the early Han Dynasty, was born into the King of Qi, the eldest son of the Han Gao. He made great contributions in the coup in killing Lu. He expelled Lu Chan and killed him with more than a thousand soldiers in the northern army, and all his clans were annihilated, and they had the courage and courage to make decisions.

Unfortunately, in the subsequent struggle with Emperor Wen of Han and the military-cultivated Marquis Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, Liu Zhang and his brother-in-law of King of Qi were defeated and were later named King of Chengyang. They died young not long after.

However, the people of Ju were grateful for Liu Zhang's kindness, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety and courage. They established the Jingwang Temple in Ju County, Chengyang. After two hundred years, Liu Zhang has become the local god lord. From the six counties of Langya, Qingzhou, the capitals and towns of Bohai, all of them have been built for temples. The capitals and towns of Qi are almost everywhere, and have become an important local belief.

The main force of the Red Eyebrows came from Qingxu Qidi. From the three elders to ordinary soldiers, they all believed in King Jing of Chengyang, so the Qi witch led him to the top, and the simple and superstitious Red Eyebrows soldiers were all bowed.

Today's sacrifice was originally for the soldiers who died in battle to ask for blessings and help, but Qi Wu added a play without permission. After talking to King Jing of Chengyang, he suddenly pointed at the three elders of the Red Eyebrow who were in charge of the sacrifice and scolded:

"King Jing was furious and said: Since you have promoted the righteous army to rebel against the rhetoric, and defeated the fake Emperor of Green Forest, you should make my descendants the county magistrate, why are you a thief?"

This statement immediately shocked Wang Mang. The county magistrate was the common name of the emperor in the Han Dynasty.

What a guy, among the red eyebrows, there are people who want to restore the man in front of him!

...

"What do you mean?"

Without the joy of the victory, Fan Chong stared at the three elders including Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, Yang Yin, etc. who came to report to him at the same time.

The three of them were the veterans who joined Red Eyebrow in the early days. They were all from Donghai County. Today they worked together to show off to Fan Chong!

Xie Lu first spoke: "The three elders are not our intentions, but the words of ghosts and gods! Qi Wu got the lesson of King Jing of Chengyang. Some unbelievers in the soldiers laughed at the witches in public, but they soon became ill and were alarmed in the army for a while."

They knew that Fan Chong was from Ju, so they wanted to put pressure on his hometown god.

Fan Chong didn't believe in evil: "When I was young and poor, I also visited Chengyang Jingwang Temple with my parents. Did he save my family? My sister was sold as a slave and was beaten to death by a powerful man in a few days, just because she was too sleepy when she was carrying the tiger's son and accidentally splashed her urine. Her parents also died of illness one after another. When will the King Jingwang and the thief God help me?"

"I don't believe the words of Qi Wu. If he dares to speak nonsense again, Nai Gong will kill him. Let's see if King Jing of Chengyang will surrender to me!"

If Fan Chong also believed that King Jing of Chengyang was sacred and inviolable, then his descendants, Liu Penzi, and others, would not have become shepherd boys.

Seeing that the strange power and chaos of the gods failed, the most educated among the elders. After reading the scriptures and knowing the laws and regulations, Xu Xuan began to understand the reason.

"The third elder," Xu Xuanyu said earnestly: "At the beginning of Gengshi, we sent people to surrender. Since we had no national town, and the tribes were slightly rebellious, we then led our troops to Runan. Although we have won several battles, Runan's food is about to be exhausted and we are tired and tired. Many of us are crying day and night, thinking of returning to our hometown east."

"The third elders discussed with us that if they were allowed to go east, they would definitely be scattered and defeated by Lulin and Liang Wang Liu Yong, Dong Xian and others. It would be better to attack Wancheng in the west, destroy the Green Han, occupy the rich land of You, and let everyone settle down in the local area, so that they can continue to go to the princes and the nobles."

"But have the third elder ever thought that we were the first to rise up, and Wang Mang and Tianfeng rebelled during the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the reign of the re

"But what happened later? We just wandered around and walked around in Qingxu Yuzhou. When we came to our senses, the situation changed drastically. I wonder how many people proclaimed emperors or kings. The Red Eyebrow changed from attention to the world to no one caring about it."

Xu Xuan always believed that Fan Chong led everyone to the wrong path at the beginning. If he had established the Han emperor early two years ago and marched towards Luoyang and Chang'an, there would be the fifth relationship, what happened to Green Forest?

Now Chimei finally defeated the main force of Green Forest and stood at the fork in the road again. She must not miss the opportunity because of Fan Chong's stubbornness.

Fan Chongpo was a little disappointed. Two years ago, he thought about "bringing his brothers back to his hometown", but when he returned to his hometown, he became a mess and could only gather together again to continue the struggle.

But if he had to ask him where he was ahead, Fan Chong couldn't answer, so he could only find an enemy and rushed over to defeat him and use war to support the war. As for how to manage it after the victory and how to reach the "Le Country" that Chimei hoped for, he could not come up with a good solution.

Isn’t the method ready-made? How did Emperor Gao of Han do it? How did Green Forest do it last year? Isn’t it enough to just copy the red eyebrows!

Seeing that Fan Chongyi was moved, Xu Xuan set off the railway while it was hot: "Gengshi was in chaos and the government orders were not implemented, so Chimei got it here. Now we have a million people, facing the west to Nanyang, but there is no title. People in each county call us thieves, so this will not last long."

"The reason why Red Eyebrows are not favored by scholars is difficult to gain a foothold in the counties along the way is because they lack an emperor!"

This is the conclusion that Xu Xuan and others came to after they wanted to break their heads: Didn’t scholars often call Chimei “no father or no monarch”? That’s right, cattle and sheep have a herd, and how can they not have a loyal monarch when they are born? As long as they are an emperor, all the obstacles that Chimei encounters will be solved!

The last veteran Yang Yin also stood on Xu Xuan's side: "That's right, since the junior elder insists on not being the emperor, we don't have the qualifications."

"In my opinion, it is better to establish the descendants of King Jing of Chengyang as Emperor Han and punish him with righteousness. Who dares to refuse to accept this?"

Fan Chong opposed it and slapped the table: "What's the difference between that and the green forest? The green forest was rampant in the Central Plains before it was established, but now it's a complete defeat."

Yang Yin said, "That's because Green Forest has not established a good emperor."

"There are more than 70 descendants of King Jing of Chengyang, all of whom are in the baggage camp, either shepherd cattle or chop firewood. After a few years, I also knew that the people were suffering, so I would definitely be able to choose a wise king."

Xu Xuan and others are different from Fan Chong. Who would have thought of being the leader of the thief for the rest of their lives? As long as there is an emperor, wouldn’t the kings, princes, generals and ministers be ranked one by one?

Fan Chong reacted and sighed:

"Since you have thought about this, why don't you say hello to me?"

"Isn't this asking the junior to agree?"

Fan Chong looked up at the old brothers. Since when, Xu Xuan, who had been showing off, had already put on a handsome appearance and held his head high when he walked, and was superior.

Well, he had been an official, and Xie Lu and Yang Yin were born in Kuhan like him, but now he is also called them "general" in the camp, with white feathers covering their heads and covering the red eyebrows on their foreheads.

People's hearts are like this, it will rain. Can it be blocked?

Fan Giant understood, so he closed his eyes and said, "Let's go and do it."

...

"More than 70 descendants of King Jing of Chengyang, should we choose according to the major and small sects?"

"That's unfair. What I, Red Eyebrow Army, pays the most attention to is fairness!"

"I heard that the ancient emperor was called the general, so we found seventy wooden notes, wrote the three words "General" in a pen, and then placed them in a bamboo tube."

"The mandala is set up in Shangcai, and the city of Yangjing King and the three elders are engaged in the meeting. The more than 70 people are allowed to draw lots, and the emperor is the one who won the lottery!"

This is a fair, just and open emperor election!

Fan Chong drank alone and let Xu Xuan and the other two discuss the ceremony. When he came to ask him for instructions, Fan Chong nodded.

But after the three of them said goodbye and left, Fan Chong angrily threw the wine to the ground!

"absurd!"

In this way, wouldn’t they go back? They fought for most of the world, and after so many years, countless brothers and sisters died, and ultimately, in order to get the Liu family back to the throne?

Fan Chong instinctively resisted the trick of kings, princes, generals and ministers. They broke the fort, took back their own things, and distributed food everywhere. Then what?

Then the three elders of the Red Eyebrow stayed in the fort and replaced the position of Lulin Qushuai? The brothers and sisters of the Red Eyebrow became slaves of the fort?

Fan Chong only felt that this was wrong, but it was limited by knowledge, knowledge, and times, but he could not express the reasons for opposition, nor could he come up with other feasible methods.

He could only watch the Red Eyebrow's military discipline getting worse and worse, and the differences between the three elders became bigger and bigger. When Fan Juren looked back, he found that his brothers had chosen another way, leaving him alone, insisting on a ridiculous "on the right place" and "no king or father".

But everyone clearly told him: No one wants to do this from the three elders to the Red Eyebrow Warriors. Even if they are happy, they are not easy. It is enough to rob the rich and help the poor once or twice. It is better to separate the territory and become the best people. Only when everyone becomes kings, princes, generals and ministers can they last forever.

Fan Chongpo was in pain and got drunk all day. The next day, the story of "The Red Eyebrows' order to reign as the emperor of King Jing of Chengyang" spread. The three armies were noisy and had different opinions, so someone came to pay a visit.

"No!" Fan Chong was still angry, angry at the "betrayal" of the old brothers and his incompetence. If he could find a better way, why would this be?

"It is the newly appointed Weng Tian who is engaged in the process of becoming the emperor. He said that the surname Liu must not be renamed!"

Fan Chong moved for a moment and asked someone to bring Tian Weng in.

This was his second meeting with "Weng Tian". When he first met, the old man showed good conversation. Fan Chong also asked him indirectly if he had been an official in the previous dynasty, but Weng Tian only said that he was a good gentleman.

"I just can't stand the world so destruction."

Now seeing each other, Old Wang Mang is leaning on a dove stick. Fortunately, the Red Eyebrow Army is equal, so I can only bow to the third elder when I see him. Otherwise, I would not be able to pay my respects to the emperor before.

As soon as he met, Fan Chong asked him with a mouthful of alcohol: "Wheng Tian said that the surname Liu must not be appointed as emperor, why?"

"The world is in chaos, and Liu Han cannot refuse to blame!"

Wang Mang criticized: "The Han Dynasty established dozens of princes, and the princes and marquis, and hundreds of princes! The princes occupied a county, and the princes occupied a county, relying on their bloodlines, protecting the government, wantonly annexed land, bribed slaves and servants, and the land was connected. The country's government was corrupt at the end of the Han Dynasty and the refugees lost their homes, so that they would bear half of the responsibility."

This is a new understanding of Wang Mang's ups and downs. He only thought that the reason why the Han Dynasty declined was mostly because the powerful royal family hindered the land, rent and tax production in the local area, and the reason why the new was destroyed was because the people were ungrateful and rebelled, which made the court stretched.

How could he watch the red eyebrows he admired and raise the Han flag? By the way, let him be the "Han minister" again.

Wang Mang is not Liu Xin. Even though he didn’t do it well last time, he would never go back!

"Hand has been exhausted, and now there are many men, but it is just a reflection of the future. Fan San Lao, how can the Red Eyebrow repeat the mistakes of the Green Forest?"

Fan Chong was indifferent. For several days, not no one came to persuade him not to make the Liu surname emperor. Isn’t it good to be the emperor himself? I thought that Weng Tian also thought this way, so he shook his head and said, “I know Weng Tian’s intention is nothing more than to persuade me to become independent, but Fan Chong believed in his words and I will not be the emperor.”

"I am not trying to say that the three elders are independent." Wang Mang laughed loudly. In his heart, he had planned a path for the Red Eyebrow that people had never imagined.

This is strange. Fan Chong was drunk and said a big joke casually: "It is neither to support the Han Dynasty nor to be independent. I will never ask me to cast the banner of Wang Mang of the New Dynasty? If I were to choose, I would rather be a Han minister than a new citizen!"

This was humiliation in person. Wang Mang's face suddenly collapsed, but he was not that crazy, so he just stood up and said, "The old man meant that even if the three elders wanted to get the Red Eyebrows away from the bandits' identities, they didn't have to establish an emperor!"

These words made Fan Chongjiu wake up suddenly. He just couldn't find such a way, so it was extremely painful! Does Weng Tian have a way?

Wang Mang really has it. He said two words to Fan Chong, a rare history like Fan Chong that he didn't know at all, that is...
