I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a sympathetic relationship with Pengcheng, Xuzhou, who had no communication with Chang'an, and King Liu Xiu of Wu, on the eve of his reputed emperor, was interested in discussing the major proposition of "why the new is destroyed."

But compared to the long-term planning of the fifth relationship and the public opinion survey, Liu Xiu's new thoughts were just because he met someone in Pengcheng.

"Gu was in the Imperial College back then, and I had heard of Duke Huan's name for a long time. I never thought that Duke Huan would avoid chaos in Huan's south. If it weren't for Huan's nephew Huan's clan, Huan Chunqing, who was the counselor, and told Yu Gu, he would almost miss the match with Da Cai."

The one who could make Liu Xiu so respectful was the famous scholar Huan Tan. Huan Tan was captured by Chimei in his hometown Pei County and became a bull official. He was separated from his disciples Liu Penzi and others due to illness and stayed in Huaibei. Fortunately, a fellow Confucian scholar who was traveling with him tried his best to help him, trying to cross the Huai River and enter Huainan controlled by Liu Xiu.

Huan Tan was like this between Jianghuai and Huai. He had been ill for more than a year before he got better. When he could walk by himself, he heard that the fifth reunion had already been emperor and swept the north. He thought about going to join him, but when he was crossing the Huai River, he met a tribe who fled here. Huan Rong, the nephew of the Long Kanghuan clan, who was young, but he had already defected to Liu Xiu and became a "consul" and the county magistrate.

So Huan Tan could not hide his identity and returned north, but his nephew wrote a memorial to Liu Xiu to know, and Liu Xiu invited him to Pengcheng and became a guest of honor.

Huan Tan has extensive knowledge and a close relationship with the fifth reunion. This is the main reason why he is valued by Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu's first impression of Huan Tan is also very good - it is even higher than Huan Tan's evaluation of being a "village" when he first met the fifth reunion!

I thought Liu Xiu started his career in the Battle of Kunyang and was a rich man in Nanyang. He was arbitrary and arrogant person, but when he met, he was a polite Confucian king. Not only did he understand the principles of the Five Classics, but even when the world was not yet determined, he would not put it down. Every time he went, he would talk about his skills and discuss the truth, which was loved by scholars.

After only a while, after a brief conversation, Huan Tan nodded in his heart: "If you read the classics and understand the political affairs and literary affairs, although Bo Yu is a disciple of Yangziyun, he is not as good as Uncle Liu Wen."

Huan Tan looked at his nephew Huan Rong. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He knelt beside him. His eyes were full of admiration. No wonder this little boy Cao was so in love with Liu Xiu and insisted on pulling him to see him. It was indeed very good.

What is even more surprising is that when Liu Xiu met Huan Tan, he did not ask himself which one is better or worse than them because he had met Gongsun Shu and was kind to the fifth family. Instead, he asked him a question.

"Recently, I often think about something. In the past, Wang Mang had successfully usurped the throne and the situation was very good. Why did he lose the world in just fifteen years? Duke Huan was in the court for many years and often visited Wang Mang, but he was also arrogant and arrogant. I must have seen signs of Xinmang's collapse and hoped to give advice."

Asking about the political gains and losses of the new dynasty means that Liu Xiu had just ended the war and began to think about governing the country and correcting the past. No wonder Pengcheng was in chaos. Now Liu Xiu has begun to resume production. There is no time to plant millet and wheat, but beans have to be sprinkled. Although his troops have many robberies, they are still under Liu Xiu's control, and the officials are all dressed neatly and have the prestige of the former Han Dynasty, which has moved some old people to amazement.

But not including Huan Tan, he is a madman and has always been soft but not hard. Since Liu Xiu is so humble, he will not hesitate to give advice.

However, when Huan Tan opened his mouth, he did not criticize Wang Mang, but instead praised the old man.

"Wen Wang has three peerless things."

Before Wang Mang's Zen Dynasty, Huan Tan was also one of his admirers. He did a lot of things and still remembered Wang Mang's style.

"His wisdom is enough to conceal his faults."

"He is quite eloquent, and when he argues, he can implicate the famous scholars and make people convinced."

"His majesty can even shock the crowd."

Speaking of this, Huan Tan sighed, but after Duke An Han was no longer satisfied with being the emperor, everything changed.

"Therefore, no one of Wang Mang's ministers could do it, no one dared to refute his random thoughts, and even more dared to make suggestions. As for the defeat of Xinmang's death, it was because Wang Weng didn't know the general idea."

Liu Xiu nodded: "What does it mean to not know the generality?"

Huan Tan said: "When Wang Weng was just in charge of national affairs, he thought he was a wise sage who came out every five hundred years, but his ministers were not as talented as himself. Therefore, he was stubborn and acted on his own. Except for asking Liu Xin and one or two others, he was determined to do things. When he was often angry, he issued an edict to implement it. The result was inconsistent with the world. Very few people could succeed. I don't know the general idea."

"Wen Wang envied the rule of the three generations of sages, and despised the way of the Han tyrants. He often changed his government affairs, retro everywhere, and explained the near and far. However, he did not know that the politics of a thousand years ago could no longer be investigated. Those so-called Zhou rituals were just fabricated and randomly composed by Confucian scholars in the Warring States Period, which was equivalent to nonsense. How could they be used directly in practice? I don't know the general two."

"Wang Weng attacked the Xiongnu in the north and the Qingxu Chimei in the east. The Green Forests actually chose good generals and trusted Wang Yi and other close people. There was a Yan Boshi who could not let go. This led to Kunyang's defeat. The fifth Boyu took the opportunity to attack his Jingzhao, so Wang Mang could only run out in a mess. The king destroyed 300,000 Xinjun head-on, for example, broke Xinmang's arms, and the fifth reunion directly penetrated his confidant, and the Xin Dynasty died suddenly. Wang Weng didn't know people, so he didn't know the third general."

"In the end, Wang Weng liked divination, believed in prophecies and divination, and built many temples to determine national affairs and war affairs. He had no choice but to go to the southern suburbs to cry to the sky. He was blinded by prophecies and divination ghosts and gods! I don't know the fourth general."

Looking at the four fingers stretched out in his hand, Huan Tan always thinks of the "Duke of Zhou" that once made the world fall in love with him. In just twenty years, he has fallen to the level of a rat crossing the street today. The once glorious peace has caused chaos in the world, and he can feel the joke of the world.

"If Wang Mang knew the general idea briefly, he would not die quickly."

The so-called knowledge of the general is to have a view of the overall situation. This is the most important characteristic of being a ruler in Huan Tan’s mind.

Liu Xiu still looked respectful and listened to the teachings. Huan Tan couldn't help but feel proud. In order to further prove his theory, he did not stop and began to add to the point.

He no longer sat upright, but pointed his body slanted and pointed his finger out the window, saying, "The world's men, whether it is Liu Xuan, Liu Yong, Liu Ziyu, or Liu Bosheng, died because they did not know the general."

As soon as these words came out, several generals and officials in the hall who followed Liu Bosheng were furious and thought to themselves: "You are the crazy man who doesn't know the general!"

However, Liu Xiu was not angry. Huan Tan was telling the truth. If his brother understood the overall situation a little, he would not rush towards Guanzhong, but should listen to his own words and develop towards Jianghuai. In that case, their great man would not be the situation in just two states today.

As for Liu Xuan and Liu Yong, these two relatives have been captured and are about to arrive in Pengcheng...

Liu Xiu only smiled and said, "Why would you like to ask, "When the princes are there any people who know the general in this regard?"

Huan Tan waved his hand: "Zhang Bu, King of Qi, and Qin Feng, King of Chu, were destroyed in an instant, which is insignificant."

"I met Gongsun Shu in Shu in the early years. Although I became emperor early, I promoted it to be a big deal after I received the imperial seal and claimed to be the White Emperor, but it was just a clay head with jade, and at most it was a natural danger to protect itself."

Huan Tan bowed to Liu Xiuyi: "Therefore, the only emperors in the world who can understand the general are the only ones who can understand the great king and the fifth uncle fish."

"The king will not slackewer because his brothers were excluded by Liu Xuan. In the battle of Kunyang, he became famous all over the world."

"Without military power, I escaped into Huai, traveled to Jiangdong, and gained a foothold. I fought with the tiger and death soldiers, and suddenly destroyed the King of Huainan. I was able to connect with the rich families of scholars and resist the Red Eyebrows, so I became the lord of Xu and Yang two prefectures."

Huan Tan is in Huainan. Although Liu Xiu started late, he took every step he took was extremely accurate, and he was not anxious or panicked, and he worked every step, and he finally had the situation today.

"It would be fine if it was just like this, but from what I saw, the king had great wisdom and strategy and had to use people properly. The king was in Jiangdong and the Hou Ba was in Huainan. The food was endless, and all the government was in harmony with the times. Therefore, the people and ministers were happy. I think the king's hegemony in this southeastern land had surpassed Fuchai. He could be compared with King Liu Bi of Wu, but he was not as good as Xiang Yu."

Is this a praise? In the end, using King Liu Bi of Wu as an analogy is simply a scolding!

Liu Xiu appeased the angry ministers and said with a smile: "If Liu Bi had not used his troops inappropriately, he would have been able to win the Central Plains. The previous chariot was overthrown and the later chariots were learned, so I would consider this to be Mr. Huan's advice."

He looked at Huan Tan again: "Since Gu is lucky to be considered by the teacher, then the other person is of course the fifth uncle fish?"

Huan Tan nodded, but said no more.

Liu Xiu was surprised: "Why don't you say it?"

Huan Tan said, "I'm afraid that I will talk endlessly. I have something to do with Bo Yu. I have seen him accumulate manpower little by little, attract heroes, and gain a foothold in Wei. In the end, he can destroy Xinmang and sweep the Beizhou."

What about the people from the village who had agreed to be in the village? Huan Tan's contrast was too big, but because of this, the fifth reunion greatly exceeded his expectations, which made Huan Tan's expectations even more.

"There is a Go play in the world. The fifth ethics act like a master in a chess game. He seems to be arbitrary, but in fact he calculates step by step, as if he can see ten steps clearly, and a hundred steps away, and finally win with his power."

"In comparison, the king started a little later, so he could only conquer each other, so he could strive for profit by fighting for the sake of convenience and win by relying on the situation."

This remark made Liu Xiu feel deeply: "I understand. The gentleman still wants to return north, and the small southeast cannot keep the gentleman and the great talent."

Huan Tan said: "Yes, the king of the king has been entertained and feasted these days, so that the old man can eat his meat. Today, he is about to resign from the king and let me go to Wei State."

In addition to his concern for the fifth relationship that is both friends and relatives, Huan Tan also heard that Wang Mang was not dead. This is also one of the reasons why he was anxious to be in Beitou. He voted for the life and death of the tyrant and judged on behalf of heaven! Huan Junshan is the most unfair and hopes to witness this unprecedented event.

"Uncle Clan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huan Rong, who had been kneeling beside him, hurriedly said: "The King of Wu is the true emperor! And there are prophecies and divinations of Chifu Talisman as evidence!"

Huan Tan knew that his nephew's thoughts were not only fascinated by Liu Xiu's politeness and politeness, but also because most of the Long Kang Huan family escaped to Huainan, and they were on Liu Xiu's territory, so they wouldn't be able to not serve their lives.

But has this nothing to do with him? Although he is the most famous in the family, Huan Tan never wanted to take responsibility for the patriarch or other things, and he declined several times.

In the Xin Dynasty, Huan Tan, like Yang Xiong, was looking forward to Wang Mang first and then disappointed, but this did not mean that their dream of pursuing peace would be broken. Huan Tan felt that there was still a chance in the fifth reunion!

So he laughed and said, "Don't forget that Wang Mang doesn't know the fourth general. That's my advice to the king, let alone..."

Huan Tan said arrogantly: "I don't read the prophecy, nor do I believe it!"

"Since Duke and Confucius of Zhou, he has been based on benevolence, righteousness and righteousness, and keeping a distance from strange and absurd things. Even the saints cannot explain the way of heaven and life, let alone how can the shallow Confucian scholars in later generations understand it? Those alchemists who are clever and opportunistic, fabricate books, falsely call prophecies, deceive and greedy, and deceive others, have deceived Wang Mang. Shouldn't the world learn from the lesson?"

"Does the king expect that when he fights with Wei in the future, he will be able to let the heavens drop thunder and kill the fifth relationship?"

Of course, Liu Xiu also understood, but wasn’t he forced to rely on prophecies and divination to support his store due to his lack of strength? What did you mean by this crazy person?

As soon as these words were spoken, the Wu and Han ministers in the hall couldn't bear it anymore. Several generals cursed and asked Liu Xiu to hand over the crazy student to them and protect him from a layer of skin!

Liu Xiu still didn't think it was offended: "Since Mr. Huan's intention to leave has been decided, why bother to force it?"

He clapped his hands and asked someone to prepare a series of carriages and horses and gifts, and ordered trustworthy people to escort Huan Tan to Sui Yang, Liangdi. At present, Wei and Wu are bordered by borders, and each stations heavy troops, but they have no desire to take action. There is no way. There is still countless red-eyed bandits running around between the two countries, and many places have become unmanned areas, with food supply and no war at all.

Liu Xiu even personally sent Huan Tan out of the city and said in the city gate: "I hope Mr. Lu is a smooth journey. I hope that Mr. Lu will be able to come to Chang'an and bring a word to the fifth uncle...."

...

Huan Tan had just walked for two days. Outside Pengcheng, another team came, but was escorted by Liu Xiu's general on the western front to a convoy with colorful flags, which was actually the mission of the Fifth Reunion.

Since the fog between the two sides has dissipated, it is not surprising that the messengers have had their exchanges. Liu Xiu could let Huan Tan pass on the message, and the fifth reunion could of course send someone to come.

However, the relationship between the two countries has not yet been decided. Is it an enemy country that is incompatible with the Han and the traitors, or what? So Liu Xiu did not go to see him rashly, and only asked his brother-in-law, Guanglu Dafu, and Chu County Prefect Deng Chen to receive him outside the city.

But what people never expected was that the young minister opposite was Yin Lihua's younger brother, Yin Xing!

Sister Meng taught me carefully that Yin Xing won the B list in the exam two years ago and became the youngest candidate. Since then, he has been a small official in the court.

But strangely, the fifth reunion neither valued nor neglected him, and used it in such a way that it was not high or low. Not long ago, he suddenly added an official position to Yin Xing and gave him an important mission.

Deng Chen was in a complicated mood. Yin Lihua and his brother were abducted by Dou Rong's troops, which was the result of Xiao Chang'an's defeat. His first wife was also killed when Xinye fell. His sister was in trouble and his fiancee was captured. That was the two of Liu Xiu's biggest regrets in his life.

Deng Chen was in the same county as the Yin family and had visited the Yin family for a long time. I only remember that Yin Xing was a young and weak child at the time. Now he has not seen him for five years and is only seventeen years old. However, he is wearing a dress as a servant, with a solemn and solemn face, and looks particularly precocious.

"Junling, I haven't seen it for several years..."

Without waiting for Deng Chen, who was nostalgic, to ask about the current situation of the brother and brother, Yin Xing seemed to not remember Deng Chen and spoke in a stern manner.

"The envoy of Wei, Yin Xing, came to visit King Xiu of Wu according to the edict of His Majesty."

Seeing that the other party was doing business, Deng Chen also looked stern: "The two countries have never met each other, so it is not advisable for the king to meet with the envoy. If you have any questions, please tell me and submit it to me."

Wu Lun had already expected this and did not force Yin Xing to present Liu Xiu in person, so Yin Xing explained his purpose.

"Your Majesty said that since the fall of Xinmang, four years since the reign of the princes, the world has become a disaster, father and son are in exile, couples are separated, the house is falling into the mountains, the fields are filthy, the epidemic is rife, and disasters are rising."

"Your Majesty promotes righteous soldiers and kills all the ugliness. The Han Dynasty has been destroyed one after another. The red eyebrows bow their heads and captured them. The north is rough, but the people who are drooping are tragic and die in half. Your Majesty pity the suffering of the people and does not want to make war again. He also wants to have a relationship with Liu Wenshu, so he wants to turn war into jade and silk."

"So I sent me to see you and invited Xiu to the court. Your Majesty wanted to plan Xiu to be the two kings and three lords, to continue the country of the former Han Dynasty, and to eat blood."

"He also worshipped Xiu as the 'General of the Eastern Han Dynasty'."

Yin Xing shouted and shouted the four words to the end of the city, even Liu Xiu, who was in the city, heard it: "Granted the title... 'King of Wu of the Great Wei and Wei'!"
Chapter completed!
