The Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 93 He Xinchao (IV)

"Drink! Drink! I will never return without getting drunk today!"

There was noisy and cheers in the military tent, almost overturning the entire camp.

In April, the third year of Gengshi, it had been a year and a half since Liu Xiu crossed to Hebei.

After arriving in Hebei, Liu Xiu received support from Shanggu and Yuyang counties. Gengkuang, the prefect of Shanggu, and his son Geng Yan, sent two counties to rush to break through Handan and kill Wang Lang who was entrenched in Handan. At this point, Liu Xiu has become an important force in Hebei.

When Liu Xiu grew stronger in Hebei, Wang Kuang and Wang Feng felt uneasy. They sent envoys to Hebei in the name of Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan, and appointed Liu Xiu as King Xiao, and ordered him to hand over his troops and return to Chang'an to receive the reward.

When he had his own strength in his hand and was enough to compete, Liu Xiu no longer needed to obey the orders of the Gengshi Green Forest Army. He first killed the envoys sent by Emperor Gengshi, and then conquered Miao Zeng, Muzhou sent by Emperor Gengshi to Hebei, as well as Wei Shun and Cai Yun, the prefects of Shanggu and other places.

Even though this meant the breakup between Liu Xiu and the Green Forest Army, Chang'an had no choice but to let Liu Xiu grow into Hebei day by day.

Three days ago, Liu Xiu launched all the cavalry in the ten counties of Youzhou and fought with Tongma and Yulai, two of the largest separatist forces in Hebei. After three days of fierce battle, he finally captured hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Tongma and Yulai, forcing him to surrender and reorganized them into his own subordinates.

Today, Liu Xiu has become the largest force in Hebei. Even compared with the Green Forest Army, which has moved its capital to Chang'an, occupying the entire Guanzhong and Yuzhou and Jingzhou, it is no longer inferior.

And tonight, it was to defeat Tongmayulai's celebration banquet.

Liu Xiu looked at the warm atmosphere of everyone cheering and drinking in the tent, and the drunkenness just now became a little drunk.

But his eyes accidentally swept into a figure in the corner.

Although he was holding a wine glass in his hand, he was always sipped alone, without a smile on his face. His eyes looked at the white cloth in the tent, but it seemed to have passed through the white cloth and looked at somewhere.

Liu Xiu stood up, carried it to Wang Mu, sat down gently beside him, and gently touched the wine glass in his hand: "Why do you drink alone?"

"Lord." Wang Mu turned his head and saw Liu Xiu, smiled faintly, and also touched the wine glass in Liu Xiu's hand, and then drank the wine in the glass: "It's just that I remembered some things from the past."

"What happened before? Tell me." Liu Xiu smiled: "Apart from Li Tong and Ren Guang, you have followed me for the longest time here."

"Today... it happened to be the day when the teacher accepted me as his disciple twenty years ago." Wang Mu showed a hint of nostalgia in his faint smile.

"Ah! It was the old man who called me up to drink in a Chang'an tavern!" Liu Xiu remembered the past and nodded: "To be honest, he is indeed a knowledgeable man!"

"That's right." Wang Mu smiled in memory.

Liu Xiu stood up, took a pot of wine from behind him, poured it on the two of them, and asked Wang Mu, "Wang Mu, do you think... I am a hero?"

Wang Mu picked up the wine glass and drank it, nodded and said, "In the battle of Kunyang, the lord defeated my father and son with 5,000 troops. At this moment, Hebei was taken into his palm. Naturally, he is the hero of the world."

Liu Xiu laughed: "In that battle, I was just lucky enough to get help from God. Now that I think about it, I am still very scared. So..."

He suddenly looked at Wang Mu: "You were the position of the Minister of State before, so you should have met Wang Mang. From your perspective, how is I compared to Wang Mang?"

Wang Mu suddenly stared at Liu Xiu in a daze, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "Lord, you... are indeed a hero in the world. But Wang Mang can no longer measure it by secular standards. If you talk about talent, he is ten times better than the lord."

"Ten times?" Liu Xiu laughed in silence: "If so, why would Wang Mang lose that world?"

"Because..." Wang Mu smiled bitterly, with helpless eyes: "Because the destiny is on you, lord, not on him."

"Destiny... is on me?" Liu Xiu looked at Wang Mu, and his heart was thrilled.

That was a saying that my brother often said, but my brother... finally died in Wancheng. The hail in Wancheng, the broken Huang Chunshui, and the meteorites falling outside Kunyang City...

"Is that...is that really not brother?"

Liu Xiu murmured to himself in the lowest voice, sweating was already oozing out of his palms.

"So... When I went north to Hebei, why did you come to join me? At that time, the world was full of heroes, why did you decide that I was a person who was destined to be a destiny?" Liu Xiu took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"It was the teacher who asked me to do this before he died. He said, "I must see the day when you will win the world by lord." Wang Mu smiled softly, and the teacher's face appeared in his mind again.

"Who is your teacher?" Liu Xiu finally couldn't help but ask.

"Lord, have you not guessed it until today?" Wang Mu smiled and raised his head to look at Liu Xiu: "He... is Wang Mang."

Liu Xiu's face was stunned, and the wine glass in his hand couldn't control it for a moment, and it slid on his legs, wetting a piece of wine stain.
