Chapter 187 A Great Wind Rises and Clouds Fly High
The people in Wanchaozhong listened with great tension, even though they already knew who the final winner would be.
But that doesn't mean they don't understand how difficult the process is.
Lin Ke seemed to feel very heavy-hearted as she spoke, and sighed deeply. Then she continued, "Afterwards, Liu Xiu assembled three thousand warriors, circled around to the enemy's flank and rear, secretly crossed the Kun River, and launched a fierce attack on Wang Yi."
"Liu Xiu had previously used the news of the arrival of troops in Wancheng to frighten the soldiers of the new army, but Wang Yi did not actually take the news seriously. In order to prevent chaos in the various camps, he ordered that none of the camps should send out troops without authorization."
"To be honest, there's nothing wrong with the order itself. We're just taking a different perspective and we know that Cen Peng has already surrendered."
"But Wang Yi at the time didn't know what the future would hold, so his actions were understandable. However, neither of them expected Wancheng to actually be breached! Nor did they anticipate that this order would ultimately drag down the new army."
"In the end, what dragged down Wang Yi and his 100,000 men was his overconfidence and underestimation of the enemy from beginning to end."
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: So, if only I had known then what I know now, why did I do it in the first place?
A Ming Dynasty official: History has proven that Wang Yi's order was truly ineffective!
A spoiled brat from the Tang Dynasty: "If you don't act recklessly, you won't die!" That's exactly the kind of person who would rather not be in such a miserable situation than show off!
A Qin official said: "If he hadn't done that, Liu Xiu and his men wouldn't have won so quickly!"
……
"Then Wang Yi led 10,000 men to meet the enemy. Instead of sending troops in batches to wear down Liu Xiu's offensive, he led the main force to challenge Liu Xiu to a duel."
"But unexpectedly, it was Wang Yi, who was leading 10,000 men, who found himself in trouble. He didn't even realize that he had been fighting hard for more than a month, and then his morale was disrupted by Liu Xiu. Now he has to fight against these 3,000 men!"
"Because Wang Yi had previously ordered that no one should send troops without authorization, no one came to his aid when he was in trouble. This was probably the first time in history that 90,000 men stood by and watched as 10,000 of their own men were slaughtered by Liu Xiu's team!"
"In the chaos of battle, Liu Xiu killed Wang Xun, and Wang Yi fled first as a sign of respect. The new army scattered and fled, and the Kunyang garrison also came to beat the new army fiercely!"
"The final blow was initiated by the heavens. In an instant, the weather changed drastically, with thunder, strong winds, and heavy rain. Historical records state that tens of thousands drowned, and the water stopped flowing."
"In the end, Wang Yi, Yan You and others only managed to leave Kunyang with a small number of personal guards and fought desperately. The supplies and weapons of these 100,000 troops were all seized by the Han army. It is said that they did not finish moving them even after a month. The Xin Mang regime had come to an end."
"Here's a question I'd like to ask: does the Liu family really not know how to summon weather?!"
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu (hands on hips): ...No! It's all thanks to our own skill! Hahahaha!
All emperors of the Han Dynasty: !!!
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: I never expected Wang Yi to act so stupidly!
A farming expert from the Ming Dynasty: He probably thought three thousand to ten thousand would be enough!
A romantic scholar from the Tang Dynasty: I really didn't expect that out of 100,000 people, a huge bunch of them would just stand by and watch their own homes get brutally beaten up!
……
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han
Liu Che's laughter echoed throughout the entire hall. He had been holding back his frustration for so long, and this moment had finally arrived!
He was dissatisfied with Wang Mang from the beginning, which led him to dislike any person with the surname Wang!
Now Liu Xiu was able to restore the Han Dynasty, which lasted for more than four hundred years. Which dynasty could compare to my Han Dynasty!
……
"Speaking of which, after the great victory at Kunyang, the news reached Chang'an and shocked the court and the public. The Xin Mang regime finally collapsed and began to fall into rebellion. It is said that Liu Xin rebelled at this time, although he did not succeed."
"At that time, powerful clans existed in various regions, and local officials either declared themselves kings or clung to Emperor Gengshi. The entire land of China was filled with all sorts of rebellious forces, resembling a scattered mess."
"The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity. Whenever this happens, someone will always emerge with the mission of unification. For example, Liu Bang of Pei County at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Li Shimin at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty."
Liu Zhuzhu, the Great Han: Emperor Gaozu was awesome!
Fusu of Qin: !!!
Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty: Where is Li Shimin's father?!
Zhu Baba of the Ming Dynasty: That's our old Zhu! Hahahaha!
