Chapter 426: Strength Soars

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Peng Chong was originally interested in supporting Liu Xiu, and now Kou Sui brought the news that Shanggu County Taishou Geng also supported Liu Xiu, which strengthened Peng Chong's decision.

He pointed to the severed head of Wang Lang's envoy and threatened the county officials, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe, and no one dared to raise objections.

When Kou Sui was a guest in Yuyang, news came from Zhongshan County that Liu Xiu led 2,000 Zhongshan County troops to kill Peng Ning, a general under Wang Lang, and also annihilated more than 7,000 people in Peng Ning.

When this news came, all the officials of Yuyang County Government were stunned.

They really didn't expect that Liu Xiu would fight so badly, with only 2,000 people, he actually defeated 7,000 people, and he annihilated all the other party, and even killed Peng Ning, the main general of Wang Lang's army, which is incredible.

The news of Liu Xiu's victory in Zhongshan County not only strengthened Peng Chong's determination, but also gave him a lot more confidence to support Liu Xiu, and the resistance he faced was much smaller.

Through discussion, Peng Chong finally made a promise that Yuyang County would send 3,000 troops, including 1,000 cavalry and 1,500 infantry, to reinforce Liu Xiu's troops.

On behalf of Geng Kuang, Kou Sui also made a promise, and Shanggu County also sent 3,000 troops, and 1,500 cavalry and infantry each.

The matter was quickly settled, and the two counties of Yuyang and Shanggu each sent 3,000 troops to support Liu Xiu.

The main commander of Yuyang County who led the troops on this side was Wu Han, and the commander Yan Xuan and Hu Nu ordered Wang Liang to be the auxiciar. Fox slave is the name of the place, and the fox slave order is also the county order of Fox slave County.

However, Wu Han is currently only a county magistrate, and Peng Pet is worried that he will be difficult to convince the public, so before Wu Hanlin led the army to march, he also deliberately promoted his official position to the magistrate of Yuyang County.

On the side of Shanggu County, the main commander of the troops was Geng Yi, assisted by Kou Sui, Jing Dan and others.

The two counties of Shanggu and Yuyang in Youzhou jointly sent 6,000 troops to aid Liu Xiu.

It seems that the strength of only 6,000 people is not much, and it is still not comparable with Wang Lang, who often sends tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but the generals who lead this army, one is counted as one, and none of them are given for nothing.

On the side of Shanggu County, Geng Yi is young and promising, he has learned well, and he is strong in force, making good use of tricks, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles.

Jing Dan has already become the second-in-command of a county during the Wang Mang period, you must know that Jing Dan is a commoner, a commoner, and he can be the second-in-command of a county during the Wang Mang period, and his ability is so strong that it can be imagined.

Kou Sui is a rare general talent in ancient and modern times, and his temperament is loyal and strong, decisive in killing, and resourceful. On the side of Yuyang County, Wu Han bravely crowned the three armies, brave and good at fighting, although his temperament is belligerent and combative, but he is by no means a simple-minded reckless man, keen and studious, good at learning and strategizing, powerful in martial arts, and capable of being able to settle in Xinjiang, which can be called a top-level civil and military talent.

It's just that Wu Han's gangsterism is too heavy, which has also damaged his reputation to a large extent.

Even the fox slave Ling Wang Liang is also a rare talent, good at commanding troops, good at using soldiers, loyal and down-to-earth.

The arrival of these people took refuge in Liu Xiu's command, which made Liu Xiu's strength show a blowout growth.

In addition, for others, an extra 6,000 soldiers and horses may not be nothing, but for the current Liu Xiu, it is too important to have an extra 6,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that there are 3,000 Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry among these 6,000 soldiers and horses.

These 3,000 cavalry pulled onto the battlefield, as long as they are used properly, 10,000 people will be unstoppable.

Geng Yi and Wu Han led the soldiers and horses of the two counties, from Shanggu County and Yuyang County, all the way to Zhongshan County, and all the encounters with Wang Lang's army along the way were killed by the two armies.

When the army of the two counties arrived at Lunu in Zhongshan County, Liu Xiu personally went out of the city to greet him.

Among the generals, the only one who has seen Liu Xiu is Geng Yi. Seeing Liu Xiu, who was riding a horse and rushing out of the city, Geng Yi showed joy on his face, and said excitedly to the people around him: "It's the lord!" The lord himself came to greet us! ”

As soon as Liu Xiu arrived in front of everyone, before he could get off the horse, Geng Yi couldn't wait to bend his knees, kowtow forward, and said loudly: "The last general, Geng Yi, meet the lord!" ”

Wu Han, Kou Sui, Jing Dan, Wang Liang, Yan Xuan and others present also knelt down and kowtowed, and said in unison: "The last general will meet Da Sima!" ”

At present, only Geng Yi is officially under Liu Xiu's command, as for the others, it is not certain that Liu Xiu is willing to accept it, they are embarrassed to call the lord directly, they can only be called Da Sima.

Liu Xiu dismounted, stepped forward quickly, first pulled Geng Yi up from the ground, and then looked at the rest of the people with a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

As he spoke, he said to Geng Yi again: "Bo Zhao, quickly introduce me to me!" ”

After everyone got up one after another, Geng Yi introduced everyone to Liu Xiu one by one. He first introduced the people from Shanggu County, and then introduced the people from Yuyang County. When Wu Han was introduced, Liu Xiu felt that his eyes lit up. Wu Han is not very old, only in his twenties, he was born very beautifully, his face is like a crown of jade, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the bridge of his nose is high, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his body is slender, straight and straight.

In good spirits.

Such a Wu Han stood in front of him, which made Liu Xiu feel like it in his heart.

In modern terms, Liu Xiu is definitely a person from the Appearance Association, and for those who are beautiful, he will naturally have a good impression.

Although the same sex repels each other, Liu Xiu will not feel jealousy and rejection at all for men who are more handsome than herself.

Wu Han bowed respectfully to Liu Xiubi, and said: "Subordinate Wu Han, the word Ziyan, has admired the prestige of Ming Gong for a long time, and it is a privilege to see Ming Gong today. As he spoke, Wu Han knelt on his knees and bowed forward. Liu Xiu's face was surprised, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Wu Han up, and said: "Ziyan's name in Yuyang, I have also heard of it for a long time, and I can get Ziyan's help, why don't I worry about the Han family?"

As soon as Liu Xiu's words came out, Wu Han was so happy that the corners of his mouth were almost under the roots of his ears. When he was pulled up by Liu Xiu, he also deliberately swept the people left and right with the corner of his eye, as if to say, how about it, although I, Wu Han, am far away in Yuyang, Youzhou, but my name,

Even the lord has heard of it.

If people knew what Wu Han was thinking at this time, they probably couldn't help but roll his eyes, and by the way, they had to remind him that the lord was being polite to you, you can't even hear this? Liu Xiu brought everyone into the city, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Liu Xiu sighed: "Geng Taishou and Peng Taishou are righteous and loyal, and Xiu is really grateful for helping Xiu so much this time." Xiuzi should report to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to reward two

Satrap! ”

Kou Sui rolled his eyes and asked, "What kind of reward does Da Sima plan to ask His Majesty for?" ”

Liu Xiu didn't think much about it, and Zhengse said: "With the merits of Geng Taishou and Peng Taishou, it is enough to seal the marquis!" ”

Kou Sui then asked, "Can Da Sima give him a title?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. The matter of sealing the marquis, that can only be decided by the Son of Heaven, Liu Xiu is just a big Sima, and he is only a big Sima business, how can he give the title of marquis casually?

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, shook his head thoughtfully, and said, "This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? Kou Sui Zhengse said: "Although Geng Taishou and Peng Taishou both support Da Sima, but the county government officials, there are still many dissatisfied, if the two Taishou can get the title of marquis, it will greatly stabilize people's hearts!" The rear is consolidated, and the big Sima is in the front, too

You can concentrate and have no worries! ”

What he said about stabilizing people's hearts is actually stabilizing the hearts of Geng Jing and Peng Pet.

As long as they and Liu Xiu have one heart, then Shanggu County and Yuyang County will always be Liu Xiu's strongest backing.

How to stabilize the hearts of the two of them? Sealing is the best means.

This doesn't require Liu Xiu to do anything, just give Geng Guo and Peng Pet a false title first. To put it bluntly, give them a reassuring pill first, so that the two of them understand that Liu Xiu knows their merits and will never treat them badly in the future.

Hearing Kou Sui's words, Liu Xiu immediately comprehended the sound of his words, he couldn't help but look at Kou Sui twice, and said secretly: This person is powerful, very good at figuring out people's hearts!

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "Geng Taishou and Peng Taishou are loyal and courageous, I should ask Your Majesty for an order, and Feng Geng Taishou will be the Marquis of Xingyi, and Peng Taishou will be the Marquis of Jianzhong!" ”

When Kou Sui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "The lord is wise! ”

Don't care if you have the right to be a marquis, and don't care if your marquis is justified, the most important thing is that you give Geng Guo and Peng Pet a reassuring pill first.

Stabilizing Shanggu and Yuyang two counties is equivalent to stabilizing your rear, and if the rear is stabilized, you can get a steady stream of support, and you will have the capital to compete with Wang Lang.

Shanggu and Yuyang two counties, how can there be more than 6,000 troops? With the full support of Geng Jing and Peng Chong, whether it is Shanggu County or Yuyang County, it is not difficult to gather thousands of Youzhou Assault Cavalry.

What made Kou Sui feel happy and relieved was that Liu Xiu was quick-witted and thorough.

Just now, Kou Sui also called Liu Xiu as Da Sima, but after listening to Liu Xiu's reply, he immediately changed his words and called him the lord.

It can also be seen from this point that Kou Sui and Wu Han are not the same, the latter came to worship Liu Xiu as the lord, and Kou Sui was willing to worship him as the lord after Liu Xiu's talent was tested.

Kou Sui turned his head to look at Yan Xuan, and said with a smile: "When Yan Duwei returns to Yuyang to restore his life, he can make the lord Peng Taishou a matter of Jianzhong Hou, and truthfully show Peng Taishou!" ”

Yan Xuanxi kowtowed to Liu Xiu with a smile and said, "Xiaguan Dai Peng Taishou, thank you Da Sima!" ”

Unlike others, Yan Xuan didn't leave after he came, he was the captain of Yuyang, and after assisting Wu Han to bring the soldiers and horses to Lunu, he had to go back to Yuyang to return to Peng Pet.

Liu Xiu waved his hand with a smile and said softly: "I will ask Your Majesty for an order as soon as possible, and ask Your Majesty to personally confer the title of Peng Taishou." ”

"Yes! The lower officials must truthfully return to Peng Taishou. ”

Liu Xiu adopted Kou Sui's opinion, and after receiving the 6,000 soldiers and horses assisted by Shanggu and Yuyang, he immediately orally conferred the title of Geng Kuang as the Marquis of Xingyi and Peng Chong as the Marquis of Jianzhong, giving each of these two Taishou a reassurance.

I have to say that Kou Sui's suggestion is very clever, although there is no formal marquis ceremony and marquis seal, it is just a verbal promise from Liu Xiu, but for Geng Kuang and Peng Chong, this is enough.

After getting Liu Xiu's marquis, Geng Jing and Peng Pet were really overjoyed, and immediately ordered the county government to prepare grain, grass and materials to send them to Liu Xiu's front line. It can be said that Liu Xiu can gain a foothold in Hebei, have the capital to compete with Wang Lang, Shanggu and Yuyang, and make great contributions, not only to Liu Xiu to continuously send soldiers and horses, but also to continuously transport materials and grain and grass, its significance is far greater than thousands of troops and horses.
