Faced with the doubts from the members of the Xiao family, Xiao He's expression changed from astonishment at the beginning to shame, and finally revealed a horrified look.

He turned to look at Wang Mang: "My Xiao family has nearly [-] people, did your lord bring them all out overnight?"

"Of course." Wang Mang nodded and smiled, "If Xiao Xiangguo doesn't believe it, you can ask your own son and wife, or you can go out and see for yourself."

"No need." Seeing Wang Mang's swearing look, Xiao He couldn't believe that Wang Mang really brought all his family members here.

At this moment, he was extremely shocked.

What kind of strength is it to be able to rescue his family in Chang'an City.

At this moment, Xiao He looked at Wang Mang with admiration.

"It seems that my lord has already had the confidence to deal with this matter since he bet with me. I thought I could plot against my lord, but I didn't want to be the one who fell into my own trap in the end."

Xiao He let out a long sigh, then cupped his hands and saluted: "Xiao He is convinced of the defeat, from now on, Xiao Hewei's orders are to be obeyed!"

Seeing Xiao He's surrender, Wang Mang smiled and said, "Hahahaha, Mr. Xiao, you don't need to be too polite. After today, we will be together!"

After finishing speaking, he personally helped Xiao He up.

In this way, Xiao He, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, became a member of Wang Mang's command!

Chapter 31 The Ghost Talent Guo Jia

Xiao He's surrender was within Wang Mang's expectation.

After all, celebrities in this era, many people take commitment very seriously.

Especially a person like Xiao He would never count his words, otherwise he would be cast aside by people all over the world.

Although betraying Liu Bang is a shameful thing, Xiao He surrendered only after he was captured, not before the start of the war. Even if it spread, others would not say much.

Furthermore, after Xiao He was arrested, he still thought about dying to show his ambition, which is considered worthy of Liu Bang.

"Very good, since Master Xiao is willing to surrender, then I will leave the internal affairs of Yuan City to Master Xiao!"

Wang Mang said with a smile: "I have Mr. Xiao, like a fish in water. Tonight, I will hold a reception banquet for Mr. Xiao and the members of the Xiao family."

If Xiao He has been subdued, of course he has to give the other party some sweetness in order to keep the other party's heart.

When Xiao He heard that Wang Mang entrusted him with such an important matter, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly refused:

"My lord, Xiao He may not be able to handle such an important matter, so please ask your lord to find another expert!"

"No, no, no!" Wang Mang waved his hands and looked at him seriously: "I, Wang Mang, have always been suspicious of people, and my employers are not suspicious, and this matter is none other than Lord Xiao.

Military division, you take Mr. Xiao and his family to settle down first, and come to dinner together in the evening. "

"Yes!" Gongsun Sheng accepted the order, and then made a gesture of invitation to Xiao He: "Master Xiao, please, I will take you to see the big house that the master arranged for your Xiao family!"

"This..." Xiao He smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't refuse, so he could only salute and agree: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, Xiao He will definitely go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate!"

When Gongsun Sheng said that Wang Mang arranged a big house for the Xiao family in advance, Xiao He knew that he had completely lost this time.

This is obviously because Wang Mang is 100% sure about rescuing his family, so he prepared the mansion in advance.

Of course, this also means that Wang Mang came prepared and deliberately brought people to this matter.

Fortunately, he was still complacent before, thinking that he had created a problem for Wang Mang with tricks.

Now it seems that his original idea was too naive.

Although he reacted now, it was too late.

In this matter, he has been out of Wang Mang's plan without knowing it.

Now that the result came out, he could only accept the path of surrender.

Seeing the wry smile on Xiao He's face, Wang Mang knew that the other party had already reacted.

But so what, Xiao He himself agreed to this bet.

At this moment, he is waiting for Xiao He to have a banquet tonight, just to win people's hearts.

At the same time, Liu Bang sent out to mobilize the messengers of the princes from all walks of life, and finally delivered the order to the princes from all walks of life.

Yuan Shao, who was the first to receive the news, did not dare to be negligent, and immediately summoned his subordinates and generals to discuss matters.

As for the meeting hall, Yuan Shao said to the people standing below with a sad face:

"Hey, Your Majesty asked us to send [-] troops to be dispatched by Han Xin to attack Yuancheng. What do you think of this?"

From the standpoint of Yuan Shao, although he is a vassal of the Han Dynasty, he wished that both Liu Bang and Wang Mang would suffer losses, and he would reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

After all, Yuancheng is not very far from Yecheng where he is, so as long as Wang Mang is killed, he can go there immediately to take over Wang Mang's territory.

But now Liu Bang's order put him in a dilemma.

At this time, a burly man in black armor standing on the left under Yuan Shao stood up and laughed loudly:

"My lord, don't worry, Wang Mang, I, Yan Liang, are willing to lead the army to join the battle!"

Immediately, an ugly-looking general behind him also stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, Wen Chou is also willing to fight!"

The two of them were the two bravest generals under Yuan Shao's command, and their statements also showed the views of the people in the army on this matter.

"This..." Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, feeling a little displeased.

From Yuan Shao's standpoint, he didn't want to send troops.

Turning his head to look at Ju Shou, the first civil servant on the right, Yuan Shao asked cautiously, "Do you have any ideas, sir?"

Ju Shou, who was named, said with a straight face: "My lord, since this is His Majesty's order, it is not easy for us to disobey it.

Moreover, His Majesty only dispatched 20 troops from Jizhou, which is far from enough to fight against Wang Mang's [-] troops. I predict that His Majesty will also dispatch troops from other princes, under the unified command of General Han Xin.

My Yecheng is very close to Yuancheng, if Wang Mang is allowed to develop, we will bear the brunt of it.

Therefore, in this battle, the lord will not only send troops, but also send the most powerful generals to lead the army to destroy Wang Mang in one fell swoop! "

It has to be said that Jushou's vision is still very unique, and his analysis of their current situation is very thorough.

Even Yuan Shao couldn't help nodding his head after hearing this: "Mr. Gong and Mr. Yu are right. If that's the case, then the two generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou and two generals will lead [-] troops to join General Han!"

"The last general takes orders!" Yan Liangwen was overjoyed and took orders immediately.

In their opinion, they will definitely win Wang Mang in this battle, and get the gold list award that Wang Mang won.

And the same scene also happened in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao looked at the orders from the messengers, and sighed to the crowd of civil and military officials in the hall: "I am a big man, there is an anomaly like Wang Mang, and now His Majesty wants to get rid of him.

This battle must be a big battle. In order to cooperate with His Majesty's plan, the old man decided to send two generals, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, to lead an army of [-] to Yuancheng! "

As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao did not hesitate in this matter, and immediately issued an order.

Immediately after receiving the order was Cao Cao in Yanzhou!

In Xuchang City, Cao Cao watched Liu Bang's order with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph, the 20 army was so easily destroyed by Wang Mang, it seems that Wang Mang's strength has far exceeded my estimate.

Feng Xiao, how do you think I should handle this matter? "

Guo Jia, who was named, smiled slightly: "My lord, in fact, this matter is a good thing for us.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, reaping the benefits of the fisherman is what we should do.

However, since His Majesty has issued an order, the lord is not easy to disobey, so he can order Xu Zhu and Yu Jin to lead [-] old, weak, sick and disabled generals.

If Wang Mang mainly attacks our army, the two generals can be ordered to retreat.In this way, our army participated in this battle, and we can explain to His Majesty.

At the same time, doing so would also allow Wang Mang to concentrate his troops and attack His Majesty's troops! "

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly: "Feng Xiao is indeed Feng Xiao!"

"This matter, just follow Feng Xiao's wishes!"

Dong Zhuo, who finally received the order, now had an angry expression on his face.

"Hmph, Your Majesty actually ordered the old man and Ma Teng to send [-] troops to Yuancheng. This is clearly intended to use us as the main attack and consume our strength!"

Dong Zhuo is not a fool, of course he understands Liu Bang's sinister intentions in this order.

But if you refuse, you will directly fall out with Liu Bang and become the first one to be dealt with.

Seeing this, Li Ru couldn't help rolling his eyes, and suddenly had an idea.

"My lord, this time His Majesty must be mobilizing heavy troops to encircle and suppress Wang Mang, this battle is beneficial to us!

Our army can send elites to take down Wang Mang in one fell swoop. At that time, my lord will be rewarded by Wang Mang. "

Li Ru's meaning is very simple. He believes that this battle is the big Han mobilizing heavy troops to encircle and suppress Wang Mang, and this battle is a battle that must be won.

Since they couldn't refuse, they might as well send out their elites and take the opportunity to salvage a fortune!

Dong Zhuo's face showed joy when he heard the words: "Wen You has a good strategy, so my son will take the lead in this battle and lead fifty thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to Yuancheng!"

Chapter 32 Ask Zhao Yun to fight Lu Bu?

When Liu Bang was angry, the big man was shocked!

In order to kill Wang Mang in the cradle as soon as possible, he mobilized the troops of the four princes and agreed to be under the command of Han Xin. He vowed to take down Yuancheng in one fell swoop and take Wang Mang's head!

For a time, the entire Han Dynasty was about to storm.

After the princes of the four directions summoned their soldiers and horses, they immediately left Yuancheng.

And this news reached Wang Mang's ears three days later.

In Yuancheng, in the council hall of the city lord's mansion, Wang Mang sat at the main seat, with Gongsun Sheng and Xiao He standing on the left and right below.

"The spies of the Flying Wing Brigade on the front line reported that Liu Bang mobilized 20 troops from the four princes, and Han Xin and Zhang Liang led [-] troops to attack our Yuancheng.

In this regard, what do you two think? "Wang Mang asked calmly, but his eyes were on Xiao He.

Obviously, he was asking Xiao He!

After all, Xiao He has always been under Liu Bang and knows Liu Bang very well. Now that such a big event happened, of course he must first listen to Xiao He's opinion.

Sensing Wang Mang's eyes looking at him, Xiao He did not dare to neglect, and immediately stood up and saluted: "My lord, this battle is led by Han Xin and Zhang Liang, we should not underestimate you!

Han Xin once said that the more troops he leads, the better. The more soldiers and horses, the more capable he will be as a commander.

The old man suggested that all soldiers and horses be brought back to Yuancheng, relying on the city wall of Yuancheng to resist the Han army! "

As a former colleague, Xiao He was very clear about Han Xin's ability, and he didn't want to be an enemy of someone like Han Xin unless it was absolutely necessary.

But now that Wang Mang wanted him to speak, he had to come up with an idea.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Xiao He suggested that Wang Mang gather all the soldiers and horses together.

At least in this way, they will not be defeated one by one by Han Xin!

However, after listening to Xiao He's words, Wang Mang didn't answer immediately, instead he showed a contemplative look.

Xiao He's method cannot be said to be bad, it can only be quite satisfactory, and the priority is to preserve strength first.

It is not Wang Mang's style to retreat all the soldiers and horses in Yuan City!

Besides, Yuancheng is not as tall as Chang'an, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Han Xin attacks the city regardless of the cost, the city will be destroyed sooner or later.

"Military Master Gongsun, what do you think?" Wang Mang suddenly turned to look at Gongsun Sheng and asked.

"This..." Gongsun Sheng frowned, thinking quickly about the meaning of Wang Mang asking himself.

If Wang Mang agrees with Xiao He's suggestion, then there is no need to ask him.If you ask him, he definitely doesn't want to accept Xiao He's suggestion.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Sheng immediately replied: "Master, the enemy has a large number of soldiers and horses, and the four princes have many soldiers and generals. We need to be more cautious in this battle."

Although he didn't say his plan, the meaning of what he said was undoubtedly to persuade Wang Mang to be more on the safe side.

The safest way now is of course to adopt Xiao He's suggestion just now!

Hearing this, Wang Mang narrowed his eyes, a flash of light flashed across his face, and then he stood up abruptly, with a playful expression on the corner of his mouth.

"Both of you, your thinking is to put safety first. But what I want is to defeat the Han army!"

Wang Mang said confidently: "Don't look at Liu Bang mobilizing 20 troops from the four princes, but how many of these people are really willing to work hard for Liu Bang?

I dare not speak to others, but Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will never give their best.
