Regarding Chen Baxian's rebellion, Wang Mang did handle it very well. On the one hand, he reconciled with Chen Baxian, and on the other hand, he comforted Chen Qingzhi, and he behaved very generously.
Chen Qingzhi originally felt guilty for Wang Mang. After all, Chen Baxian was also his clan brother. After seeing Wang Mang's attitude, he stayed with Wang Mang more wholeheartedly and decisively rejected the invitation of his clan brother Chen Baxian.
The Liao Kingdom, no, it should be called the Chen Kingdom now, and the original Liao Palace has now been changed to the Chen Palace.
In just a few months, from Liao Gongsun Xuanyuan, to Liao Wang Gongsun Shu, and then to Chen Wang Chen Baxian, the land of Liaodong changed three owners. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the ministers still enjoyed the former high officials.
Good salary.
Most of the people at the bottom of Liaodong missed Gongsun Xuanyuan. They boycotted Chen Baxian just like they boycotted Gongsun Shu, but it had no effect at all.
Chen Baxian has already won the support of most of the aristocratic families in Liaodong, as well as the scholar-bureaucrats. For them, the opinions of the people at the bottom are not important at all.
With the support of Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang and other traitor lackeys, Chen Baxian slowly took the throne.
"See King Chen."
"Everyone, get up."
Chen Baxian smiled lightly. While he was so proud, he couldn't help but feel a little pity that Chen Qingzhi actually refused his solicitation.
"Forget it, there are many capable people and lofty ideals in the world. If Qingzhi doesn't want to help me, there will always be others who are willing."
Chen Qingzhi thought to himself, but he ignored one thing, that is, he failed to gain the support of his relatives, let alone outsiders.

Mengjin Ferry.
After Huang Feihu received Qin Hao's order, he went to the Yellow River ferry without stopping. When he arrived, he found that he had another lieutenant, Guan Sheng.
Four of the Liangshan Five Tiger Generals are all in Beihai. The combined combat power of the four can rival the God of War, so the combined combat power of the Five Tigers must be stronger, so Qin Hao also asked Guan Sheng and Huang Feihu to go together.
Although the five thousand cavalry led by Guan Sheng are not top elites like Huben Camp, they are still elites with all armor.
With the entire Huben camp annihilated, the remaining cavalry of the Beihai Qin army was less than 2,000, so these 5,000 cavalry were a timely rain for Li Jing.
"General Zhou Yu, everyone has arrived, but the ship is about to sail." Huang Feihu said.
Zhou Yu nodded, and then shouted an order: "Set the ship."
The Yellow River Navy of the Qin Army, carrying 5,000 cavalry, headed eastward towards Qingzhou and Beihai. However, when passing through the waters of Jizhou, the Navy encountered an iron lock.
This was arranged by Han Xin in advance before he completely retreated into Yecheng. In addition to the iron lock across the river, Han Xin also laid a large number of hidden stakes to prevent the Qin navy from entering Qingzhou to intervene in the war.
A steel cable as big as the mouth of a bowl stretched across the Yellow River, blocking the navy's path.
As for the hidden piles hidden behind the iron locks, if a ship hits them, it will most likely hit the rocks.
"How can this get over?" Guan Sheng said anxiously.
Huang Feihu also frowned when he saw this, thinking about how to solve this dilemma.
Zhou Yu on the side just thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is a small problem, I have a way to solve it."
After saying that, Zhou Yu immediately ordered several small boats to be mobilized, and the boats were filled with sulfur, saltpeter, and tinder. When the boats approached the iron lock, they used rockets to ignite the fire boats and prepared to burn the iron locks directly with the fire boats.
The iron-locked generals deployed by Han Xin were easily broken by Zhou Yu using fire ships because they were unguarded and unprepared.
Of course, after breaking the iron lock on Hengjiang, there are still more difficult hidden stakes behind.
[Zhou Yu’s skill ‘Water God’ is activated...]
Huang Feihu and Guan Sheng originally thought that Zhou Yu would send a small boat to test the positions one by one in the water. After all, this method was time-consuming, but it was the most reliable method.
Huang Feihu and Guan Sheng had no idea that Zhou Yu would be so discerning. They could guess the approximate location of the hidden pile through only a few details, and finally led the fleet through it without any danger.
After breaking through the iron locks and hidden piles in the water, there were no obstacles on the waterway leading to Beihai. Qin Hao arrived at Beihai unimpeded.
Since then, generals such as Huang Feihu, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianxiang, and Guan Sheng have also officially joined the ranks of the Qin Army in Beihai.
Looking at the broken and unrepaired city walls of Beihai, Huang Feihu knew that Beihai must have encountered a fierce battle. He was also curious about how Li Jing persisted until now. After all, Wang Mang had three war gods on his side.
Faced with Huang Feihu's question, Li Jing explained with a wry smile: "Thanks to Mr. Kong Xuan's help."
When he mentioned Kong Xuan, Li Jing's eyes were full of respect. If he hadn't taken action, even if Beihai City could be defended in the end, it would probably be severely damaged.
In addition to the time when he helped Fu Nian before, Kong Xuan had directly helped Li Jing twice. Naturally, Li Jing would never forget this kindness.
On Huang Feihu's side, when he learned that Kong Xuan had fought against the three Gods of War on his own and won, everyone was shocked by his fighting power.
"What about Master Taishou, where is this Kong Xuan man?"
Huang Tianxiang asked. He was also a newborn calf. Although he was shocked by Kong Xuan's strength, he was not particularly in awe.
"I'm gone, and I don't know where I'm going."
Li Jing said helplessly, of course he wanted to keep Kong Xuan, but for some reason Kong Xuan seemed to have a problem with him and never gave him a good look, which made Li Jing feel regretful.
When Huang Feihu heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Are all masters so free and easy?
"Master Taishou, although Kong Xuan is gone, our father and son, as well as General Guan Sheng are here, and they can still defeat Wang Mang." Huang Feihu said solemnly.
"Um."
Li Jing smiled and nodded. He had already read the letter written to him by Qin Hao and knew that Huang Feihu and his son had the strength of the God of War.
Although Li Jing had doubts about the strength of Huang Feihu and his son at first, after all, it was too outrageous to have three gods of war in one sect, but he also knew that it was impossible for his lord to lie to him.
Li Jing was deeply touched and a little ashamed to give such a large amount of support to his side at once. He made up his mind that he must fight the rest of the war well and avenge Ran Min, otherwise he would not be sorry for his lord's treatment of him.
trust.
There are three Huang Feihu and his son, plus Jin Tai, Li Jing already has four war gods, but Wang Mang only has three, no, two war gods.
In fact, not long after Kong Xuan defeated Wang Mang, Tantai Yu was recalled to Julu by Lian Po. He could not help but conceal his identity and sneaked here. After Ran Min died in the battle, the news of his departure from Julu was also discovered by the Qin army.
have to.
Therefore, if Tantai Yu does not return, once Su Dingfang and Yuwen Chengdu launch a general attack, Lian Po will fall into a passive state.
Once Tantaiyu left, Wang Mang was left with only Ju Wuba and Xia Luqi, but he didn't know that Li Jing had three new gods of war.
Four against two, the Qin army had an absolute advantage in terms of generals.
As for the military strength, although the Qin Army was much smaller than the Northern Han United Army, this was not an irreversible gap.
"General Ran Min, Li will definitely avenge you."
Li Jing's eyes were full of determination, and he murmured to himself in a deep voice that a brand new battle plan had been brewing in his heart.
