The Battle of Kunyang achieved Liu Xiu's prestige, and the defeat of the imperial army in Kunyang also exhausted the last strength of the new dynasty.

If you follow the historical trend, three months after the Battle of Kunyang, the Green Forest Army invaded Chang'an, killed Wang Mang in the melee, and the new dynasty was destroyed.

Jiang Hao no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned the generals to issue a military order, and the army was reorganized for two days, and the troops were sent to Longxi, and he wanted to take Chang'an before the Green Forest Army attacked Chang'an.

More than 40,000 cavalry marched towards Longxi, rumbling and galloping past, at this time it has entered May, the season of grass growth and warbler flying.

Kui Huan, who occupied Longxi, had actually felt the pressure from Jiang Hao's army for a long time, and he had thought about taking Zhangye, Jiuquan and other prefectures and counties before, but before he could make a move, an army from the Western Regions suddenly came out.

After inquiring clearly, the leader was Jiang Hao, who was only a military candidate in the Western Regions Protectorate, and after careful inquiry, he learned that Jiang Hao actually organized the Hanyang Army to destroy the Xiongnu Youxian King in one fell swoop.

Now Jiang Hao is on the west side of Chen Binglong, and it is naturally difficult to sleep and eat.

"Report to the general, the spies from the front have come to report, the Hanyang army has made a big move, marching towards Longxi City, and now it has surrounded Dingxi City." A subordinate reports.

Kui Huan was shocked, he still had to come, frowned and looked at the map, and said for a while: "Order Zhang Ye, the defender of Longxi, to defend the city and fight to the death, and those who dare to abandon the city and flee will destroy their entire clan." ”

"No!"

The walls of Dingxi City are thick, and he feels that he will definitely be able to resist the enemy's army, but Kui Huan was wrong, Jiang Hao had no intention of taking the city at all, so he turned around under Dingxi City, and immediately rushed towards Tianshui with all his strength.

The siege battle was very tragic, often because of the battle for a big city, it would take several months or even years to attack, the famous battle of Xiangyang in the Song and Yuan dynasties, it took six years.

Of course, there is nothing to do with Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family.

In general warfare, step by step for the battalion is the soldier's mastery, but Jiang Hao is led by cavalry, the biggest advantage of cavalry is that it is fast, it can come and go vertically and horizontally, and now it has entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, and there is no Great Wall to block it, Jiang Hao can run openly.

If it is a war between the two countries, it is likely that this kind of play will be divided and swallowed by the Han Dynasty, but now is the era of division of the heroes, and no one can take care of anyone, so Jiang Hao has no problem at all.

Kui Huan never expected that Jiang Hao's army would suddenly appear under his city, it was originally a ragtag army, all kinds of preparations were insufficient, Jiang Hao ordered the siege of the city, and after a fight, the city was taken away, the Hanyang army poured into Tianshui City, and Kui Huan gave up resistance.

At this point, Kui Huan, who claimed to have an army of 100,000, was defeated by Jiang Hao, and after Jiang Hao counted, he found that Kui Huan actually only had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Just like when Wang Mang attacked Kunyang, he claimed to be one million, but in fact there were only 420,000, and for example, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000, but in fact, Cao Cao's total number of men was only more than 300,000.

In the Taishou Mansion, Jiang Hao saw Kui Huan, who was about forty years old, with three long beards, a pair of Danfeng eyes were very spiritual, and he was wearing a gray robe at the moment, standing in front of Jiang Hao and looking at Jiang Hao without humility or arrogance.

This Kui Huan is also a talent, and his tens of thousands of subordinates are also very convinced of him, Jiang Hao has the heart to accept him, so it is easier to accept the people in his hands.

"Will you surrender me?" Jiang Hao said.

Kui Huan glanced at Jiang Hao deeply, and said: "Jiang Hao, you are also a Han person, but you led the Hu people to the Central Plains, if you are made the emperor, the world will not be in chaos, and my Han family will not be protected." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao frowned deeply, in fact, this was the biggest reason why he had been reluctant to participate in the Battle of the Central Plains.

"Now that the Central Plains is full of smoke, what is the explanation." Jiang Hao asked.

"In this world, I believe that it is still the Liu family, Luoyang is the first emperor Liu Xuan, a descendant of Gaozu, and now it has been done, Wang Mang Kunyang was defeated, and the first emperor can dominate the world." Kui said arrogantly.

Jiang Hao knew that it was Liu Xiu who succeeded in the end, but it was not easy for this Kui Huan to have such insight.

"I'll ask you one more thing, but you will surrender to me." Jiang Hao asked.

Kui Huan shook his head firmly, "I am a member of the Han family, and I never want to watch the Hu people succeed in the Central Plains." ”

Jiang Hao waved his hand, "Take it down and detain it, by the way, don't slack off." ”

Although Jiang Hao has made a name for himself in the Western Regions, in the eyes of the Han people, it is disrespectful and rebellious to bring people from the Western Regions to attack the Han Dynasty.

The name of the regent of the Western Regions allowed him to rise quickly and master a large army of his own, but if he wanted to compete for the world and win the hearts of the Han people, he was afraid that it would be difficult.

This is also Jiang Hao's biggest disadvantage.

The people's heart is real, the people's will is what it wants, and if it doesn't get the people's heart, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it will be in vain.

But why is Liu Xiu's guy so popular with the people, just because he is a descendant of the Liu family, but there are many descendants of the Liu family, and tens of thousands of them can still be found, but why is it him?

"Sometimes, fate is really a magical thing!"

Jiang Hao muttered to himself.

Rectify military affairs, and some of the soldiers before Kui Huan were left to form infantry, about 20,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 were all dismissed and let them return to their hometowns.

Half a month passed, Jiang Hao's army set off again, this time directly pressing Chang'an City, when he learned that Jiang Hao's 60,000 army was attacking, the imperial court was shaken, and Kunyang was fighting, Wang Mang almost took out all his family resources, but he suffered a series of critical attacks from the great magician, and the main force was lost.

Wang Mang stood on the court and glanced over, and finally fixed his gaze on the Nine Tigers.

The so-called Nine Tigers are the nine fierce generals under Wang Mang's account,

"Shi Xiong, Wang Kuang, Guo Qin, Chen Hui, Cheng Chong..." recited nine names in a row, and nine people were named and immediately listed.

"I order you to wait for the whole army to go to meet the invading enemy." Wang Mang ordered.

"No."

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the 400,000 army is lost, but he still has the Praetorian Guard in his hand, which is also the last strength in Wang Mang's hands, the number is about 25,000.

Both sides marched very fast, and the two armies finally met at Chencang and opened up their positions in the field.

Fighting in the field, Jiang Hao is the least afraid.

The two armies faced each other for three or two days, and made several tentative attacks, and Wang Mang's army lost more and won less, which can see the gap between the two sides.

"Attack!"

After a few tests, Jiang Hao knew the strength of the other party and launched a decisive battle, tens of thousands of troops stood together, and the scene was spectacular and tragic.

Looking at the battlefield fighting in the distance, Jiang Haoxin said that he had twice as many troops as the other party, and in the end he could only fight hard, if Liu Xiu came, I don't know what he would do, would he still have to put a forbidden curse?

In a big battle, the imperial army was defeated, leaving only a few thousand soldiers and horses to flee in all directions, Jiang Hao did not pursue, and continued to run towards Chang'an after gathering the soldiers.

When Jiang Hao's army arrived at the city of Chang'an, the people in the city were panicked.

Jiang Hao didn't give Wang Mang much time, as soon as he arrived at Chang'an City, he launched a siege battle, watching those soldiers from the Western Regions being killed by arrows, stoned to death, and falling into the moat and drowning, Jiang Hao didn't have any mood swings.

When you have experienced too many big things, you will find that the new capital of the superior will be as solid as a rock, and you will not be timid and nervous because of some small things.

This may be the greatest test for people's hearts.

"Boom!"

Chang'an City was finally breached, for three full days, rammed earth mat road rushed to the city car, which finally broke this thousand-year-old capital, this is still in Chang'an without soldiers and horses, if there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, Jiang Hao will not be able to fight.

The cavalry of the Western Regions quickly rushed into Chang'an City, Pang Xiong led a team to kill directly to the palace, and there was chaos in the city, and it was not until the afternoon that the entire Chang'an City returned to calm.

Jiang Hao was very strict in governing the army, especially for these soldiers in the Western Regions, as long as there were those who violated the military order, no matter who they were, they would not be tolerated, and those who dared to rob and forcibly annihilate would be directly beheaded to show the public, so although the Western Regions army entered the city, there was no major chaos in the city, and the people were not harassed too much.

When Jiang Hao entered the city, it was already night, there was no warm welcome, everyone was closed, the convoy passed through the long stone streets, and came to the Han Palace, all around which were Jiang Hao's soldiers, all of whom were straight.

Looking at this majestic and magnificent palace of the Han Dynasty, this is Weiyang Palace, how many stories of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty happened here, Jiang Hao felt that he was really fortunate to be able to see this scene in this life, you know, when Wang Mang perished, those green forest troops attacked Chang'an, directly burned Weiyang Palace, and burned this palace.

Tyrannical creatures.

You know, there are records in later generations, Weiyang Palace pavilions, pavilions, mountains and rivers are lined up, it is one of the largest buildings in ancient China, maybe someone has been to the Forbidden City, can feel the huge of the Forbidden City, Weiyang Palace is larger, the total area is more than six times that of the Forbidden City.

Now that Chang'an is in Jiang Hao's hands, he will never allow that to happen.

Pang Xiong came to Jiang Hao's side and whispered with some excitement: "Lord, we found the vault, there are piles of gold and silver in it, I don't know how much it is, but it is definitely much more gold than the vaults in Shache and Qiuzi." ”

He knew that his lord liked gold very much.

"Lord, when I caught Wang Mang, I found a treasure from him." As he spoke, he took out a big guy wrapped in yellow silk from his arms.

No wonder this guy's belly was bulging before.

When Jiang Hao saw this shape, his heart moved, could it be that treasure?

When he opened the yellow silk package and revealed the contents inside, his breathing was a little short, it was really it, the jade seal of the country.

The jade seal of the country is engraved with the Heshi Bi, it is the evidence of the orthodox emperors of the Chinese dynasties, the size of four inches in a square circle, the five dragons are carved on it, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", in order to serve as a token of "imperial power granted by heaven, orthodox and legitimate".

Gain it symbolizes its "order to heaven", and the loss shows that its "gas has been exhausted", where the great throne and no such seal, will be ridiculed as the "white version of the emperor", it seems that the confidence is insufficient and is despised by the world, so the people who want to seek the throne of the emperor in the past generations are all fighting for me.

Jiang Hao was afraid that it was fake, so he specially opened the eye of heaven to look at the jade seal of the country, and saw that a thick layer of golden light was condensed on the jade seal, which was bright but not shiny.

This is definitely a real heirloom jade seal.

Baby, big baby!

Jiang Hao immediately took him into his arms and put him into the space as soon as possible.

"What about Wang Mang?" Jiang Hao asked.

"My guards are personally guarding and detaining them in a side hall of the palace." Pang Xiong said.

Jiang Hao looked at the main hall of Weiyang Palace and said, "Raise a fire candle in the main hall and bring Wang Mang to the main hall to see me." ”

Stepping into the main hall of Weiyang Palace, even if Jiang Hao was prepared, he was infected by this feeling of spaciousness and heaviness, which was the architectural style of the Han Dynasty, rough and elegant but elegant.

Looking at the main work in the middle, Jiang Hao did not sit on it to try the feeling, but stood aside and looked at a huge picture of mountains and rivers.

"Whoa."

There was a sound of armor behind him, Jiang Hao turned to look, and saw Pang Xiong come in with a few guards and an old man in a black robe.

The old man was dressed in black, with a hairpin on his head, a few strands of gray hair fell down in a mess, and the robe on his body also occupied dust, looking a little embarrassed, but the momentum was full, although he was a prisoner, but his head was slightly raised.

This is Wang Mang,

Seeing the historical figures, Jiang Hao was slightly excited in his heart.

It is recorded in some history books that Wang Mang kissed a tiger with a tiger's eyes and a voice like a jackal, and he was not a good person at first glance, but when Jiang Hao saw Wang Mang, he found that he was just an ordinary person, and even had some elegant atmosphere, and he didn't look like a jackal at all.

Curious, Jiang Hao opened the Heavenly Eye to look at Wang Mang, and found that Wang Mang had a layer of bright white light on his body, indicating that his life was very expensive.

Jiang Hao said to Pang Xiong: "You let people prepare wine and food, and I want to feast the new emperor." ”

Wang Mang looked at Jiang Hao and said lightly: "Banquet Lonely, hehe, has the regent already regarded himself as the master?" ”

"More than ten years ago, the new emperor abolished the little emperor, didn't he also regard himself as the master and occupy the Han Dynasty." Jiang Hao said.

Becoming a king and defeating a king, Wang Mang couldn't refute it.
