Weather in Nangong City, Hebei Province

In Nangong County (now northwest of Nangong, Hebei Province), the weather changed suddenly, and strong winds and freezing rain made Liu Xiu and his party soaked to the skin. So, everyone found an abandoned house and began to repair and shelter from the rain.

The weather is unusually cold, but Liu Xiu and his friends have a harmonious friendship. Feng Yi brought firewood, Deng Yu lit the stove, and soon everyone felt warm. Not long after, Feng Yi found half a bag of wheat and cooked wheat rice for everyone. Soon, he also found some edible plants, "earth shoulders", which were cooked and provided to Liu Xiu.

Soon, everyone was hungry and cold.

It is this escape experience of sharing weal and woe that makes Liu Xiu and his men more and more harmonious. Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor in the future, which is probably the course of this kind of suffering, and it is not generally good to treat the heroes. Basically, no one was killed, and most of the heroes who came out of the dragon were lifelong rich.

Get up early the next day and move on. Liu Xiu and his party are blind. Especially in Xia Bo (now in the southeast of Shenxian County, Hebei Province), Liu Xiu was puzzled and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Liu Xiu suddenly met another "noble person": an old man in white stood on the side of the road, with firm eyes and rosy face, and said to them, "Work hard! Xindu County is only 80 miles away from here, and it is also loyal to Emperor Geng Shi! "

A faithful wife! I heard that Xindu (now Jixian County, Hebei Province) did not join forces with Wang Lang, and others were overjoyed and rushed to the local area immediately.

Ren Guang, the prefect of Xindu, has always been loyal to the regime of starting a new stove. Wang Lang in Handan once sent someone to Ren Guang to post books. Ren Guang immediately beheaded him and killed those who advocated surrender in the city. He has always adhered to the literal meaning of the system of starting from scratch.

Heard that "Fu" Liu Xiulai, Ren Guang personally out of the city to meet at once.

Entering the new capital, Liu Xiu's life has finally come out of the trough!

With this letter, they all established base areas. Soon, the prefect of the Guard and Cheng also came to visit, and he also brought a group of people.

As soon as the breathing was fixed, they discussed the next step. After a little peace, Liu Xiu's men came out to persuade them that it was best to return to Chang 'an as soon as possible, and his men were escorted by the army at this time.

Indeed, at that time, almost all of Hebei became the territory of Wang Lang and Liu Ling, and it seemed difficult to compete with Wang Lang's power only with the support of military forces from Ren Guang and Tong Pi counties.

Seeing that someone in the cronies backed out, Liu Xiu hesitated. This is a difficult journey. After all, they have been through so much that it is not easy for them to live to this day. Now there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Xindu, so it should be no problem to escort his party back to Chang 'an.

Of course, Liu Xiu thinks more than his men. If I have to go back to Chang 'an, it means that I have become a senior prisoner of Xianhuang. Moreover, the loss of Hebei is not a misdemeanor. Even if I go back alive, I may be killed by Liu Xuan.

See Liu Xuan bowed their heads and meditated, just met into satrap Tong Pi said these words:

Liu Xiu Steels

"Li folk songs have been sung for a long time, so they have turned over a new leaf and promoted their titles. The world responded and Sanfu Qing Palace welcomed them. Today, forced by the situation, Wang Lang, a fortune teller, drove away the rabble under a false name, thus shaking the land of Yanzhao, which was not solid at all. Gong Ming fought for the soldiers of two counties, so why not? If you let this go today, you will lose Hebei in vain, which will definitely disturb the third assistant, causing heavy losses and not being a winner. If Gong Ming has no intention of resuming the conquest, even if he trusts the soldiers in the capital, it is still difficult to satisfy. who is it? If Gong Ming succeeds in the West and Handan, the people will not donate their parents, and they will be masters of their own affairs and will be sent thousands of miles away. It is inevitable that they will run away! "

These words are empty talk, but the last few words are the key: If you lead the public to retreat, the power of Handan Wang Lang will be realized. These soldiers who retreated with you, their parents and family members are in Hebei, they must have escaped halfway!

Tong Pi's implication is that if you really want to escape from Liu Xiu, you will definitely not be able to return to Chang 'an alive.
