Later, when they saw Liu Xiu also walked out in the costume of the uprising, everyone was shocked. Such loyal and cautious people participated in the uprising and rebellion. Maybe it was time to rebel, so everyone felt at ease.

Liu Xiu is appealing. When Liu Yan discussed the important moment of the rebellion, the other Liu family members were afraid and wanted to hide because Liu Yan often caused lawsuits and they did not want to get involved. Later, when they saw Liu Xiu also walked out in the costume of the uprising, everyone was shocked. Such loyal and cautious people participated in the uprising and rebellion. Maybe it was time to rebel, so everyone felt at ease. You see, are you afraid of Liu Xu coming out, and Liu Xiu coming out, everyone thinks maybe it is right to raise an army.

This year, Liu Xiu was twenty-eight years old. " Dongguan Han Ji " said that after careful consideration, Liu Xiu felt that the change of heaven had been completed and that it was time to change the dynasty. Liu Xiu does things not rely on momentary impulse.

At the end of the third year of Dihuang (22), the Liu Xiu brothers raised an army in Chongling Township and first attacked Huyang County. When the county town was captured and the spoils were divided, the green forest soldiers such as Xinshi and Pinglin soldiers were dissatisfied and "were angry and wanted to fight back against Liu." Liu Xiu took out all the spoils obtained by the Liu clan and distributed them to friendly forces, resolving an internal crisis of fighting.

The following month, they headed to Wancheng, the seat of the county seat of Nanyang . Among all the soldiers, there are Xiajiang soldiers, Xinshi soldiers, , Pinglin soldiers, and Chongling soldiers. They are all green forest heroes. Everyone discussed that different troops must have a unified leadership. Everyone wants to regard the Liu family as the world, so they can choose the Liu family. At this time, there was a man named Liu Xuan in Pinglin soldiers, named General Gengshi, and Gengshi starts from scratch. Some people want to recommend Liu Xuan to be in charge, while others think of Liu Xuan, but most people are willing to establish Liu Xuan because everyone thinks that Liu Xuan is too strong and Liu Xuan is relatively cowardly. With such easy control, he finally established Liu Xuan.

. Everyone discussed the matter of establishing Liu Xuan first before they found Liu Huang and told him the meaning. In addition to Liu Huang's greatness and Liu Xuan's good control, there are also status considerations. Let's look at the genealogy of their two families. Liu Huang and Liu Xuan came from the same Gaozu, which is Liu Mai . However, Liu Xuan's great-grandfather was the eldest house and inherited the Marquis of Chongling. Therefore, in terms of the status of the royal family, Liu Huang and Liu Xiu were a little worse than Liu Xuan. Although they were both descendants of the surname Liu, Liu Xuan's house branch was the eldest house, which made Liu Xuan more legitimate.

Facts have proved that Liu Huang is indeed stronger, maybe he doesn’t know how to win people’s hearts. Judging from Liu Xuan's later development, he was a little weaker. Faced with the fact that Fai-success, Liu Yan tactfully opposed it. He said that it is good to respect the Liu family, but now, you see, there are Red Eyebrows in Shandong. What if they also establish the Emperor of the Liu family? Are they in opposition to each other? Wang Mang has not been destroyed, and they have already started fighting each other. This is not good! He advocated defeating Wang Mang first, surrendering Chimei, and then recommending the emperor. He even said that if Chimei had first appointed Liu as emperor, he would not have taken away our position, and we were also a prince. Liu Ying obviously wanted to delay. While there was endless debate, there was a general named Zhang Hu who drew his sword and hit the pillar, saying that he was unsuccessful. Today's matters must not be two, so it was decided. Zhang Su and Zhu Yu were all aimed at Liu Xuan. Liu Xuan was outnumbered and did not support him, so Liu Xuan was finally established.

. Now, a Liu family emperor has been established, with the country name also known as Han, and some positions of the Liu family brothers have been arranged. Judging from the arrangement of this position, it actually takes care of all interests. For example, Liu Ying was appointed as the Grand Sima , Liu Xiu was appointed as the general and the Taichang , and their uncle Liu Liang , and he also served as the highest consultant.

Wang Mang felt pressure. Because the newly established Han army was different from the ordinary grass-roots peasant uprisings, they issued manifestos, ordered the world and carried out propaganda offensives, and they demanded to replace Wang Mang. So Wang Mang became anxious. He gathered a large army to suppress and attacked Kunyang. In June, the Han soldiers led by Liu Xiu and others defeated more than 400,000 troops in Kunyang (now Pingdingshan City, Henan Province). Liu Xiu

On the eve of the victory, Liu Huang took over Wancheng. During the Kunyang War, Liu Xiu defeated the more with fewer people, showed outstanding military talents, and became famous in one battle.

The specific war process will not be described again. The Liu Xiu brothers made contributions and attracted jealousy again. On this day, a meeting was held in Nanyang. It is said that a general under Liu Xuan was disobeyed Liu Xuan's command and was finally executed. Liu Xuan argued for it and was also executed. At the beginning, Li Yi was originally aimed at Liu Huang, but when he saw that the momentum was wrong, Liu Xuan became the emperor, and he turned to flatter the newcomer. In fact, Liu Xiu and his brother-in-law, Deng Chen, , both advised Liu Huang to pay attention to protecting himself, but Liu Huang laughed it off and didn't take it seriously. After Liu Yan won the battle between Wancheng and Kunyang in June, the battlefield was killed in the internal battle before it was cleaned up.

Now it will test Liu Xiu. At this time, Liu Xiu continued to expand his territory in Baofeng County today. His brother was killed. How did Liu Xiu deal with it? First, he immediately ran to Wancheng and apologized to Liu Xuan. As a brother, he is a brother who is a crime, and he cannot refuse to blame him. Liu Xiu and Liu Yun did not talk about their brother's injustice, but only talked about their brother's offense and disrespect for the emperor. Second, he did not contact his brother's generals to avoid suspicion, never talked about Kunyang's merits, nor did he mourn for his brother, and he could eat meat, drink, and chat and laugh freely, which means that his brother deserved his death, and he was not sad at all, and he seemed to be heartless. In fact, Liu Xiu's heart was bleeding. When he was sleeping at night, there were tears on the pillows. The elder brother was his father and his father died early. Although he lived with his uncle, his elder brother took good care of him a lot. Liu Xiu had a deep affection for his elder brother.

These practices temporarily eased the relationship between Liu Xiu and Gengshidi . Gengshidi himself was embarrassed because Liu Ying's brothers made contributions to him. Liu Xiu's practice was in line with his usual image among the crowd. The Battle of Kunyang indicated that he had military talents but had no political ambitions, so Liu Xiu was not implicated, but was promoted to the post. Emperor Gengshi felt guilty, so he specially gave him a position. Anyway, it was a relative of the Liu clan. Later, when Luoyang was captured, Luoyang was temporarily designated as the capital. Liu Xiu did the rectification work in this capital.

In June, Liu Yun was killed, Wang Mang was killed in September, Luoyang was captured in the same month, and Liu Xiu became the Sili lieutenant and went to clean up the palace and prepare to move the capital. Emperor Gengshi made further arrangements, first leading some people to the north to pacify these places in Hebei, Shanggu , Yuyang County .

Search from Shandong, the Han soldiers were powerful, and the leader of the Red Eyebrow Fan Chong also came to Luoyang to surrender. The Gengshi regime also sent an army to point westward to Chang'an and was also preparing to move the capital to Chang'an. With Liu Ci as the prime minister, he first entered the pass to build the ancestral temple palace.

Seeing that Liu Xuan's world was almost done, Hebei has not yet completely accepted. That is, there was a dispute over who to send to Hebei. Liu Ci said that Hebei is very important. Among our Liu family members, only Liu Xiu has this ability. Shandong Red Eyebrows have surrendered, and there is also a bronze horse in Hebei. Hebei goes to the north Great Wall and there are Xin Dynasty (Wang Mang's dynasty code name "Xin") on the frontier. However, Zhu Yu and Li Yi opposed it because he felt that Liu Xiu was powerful and was afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain. They had encouraged Emperor Gengshi to get rid of Liu Huang, fearing revenge, so they had doubts about Liu Xiu. However, Liu Ci firmly supported Liu Xiu. Although Emperor Gengshi was a little hesitant, Liu Xiu's low-key ultimately dispelled his concerns, thinking that Liu Xiu would not have any future troubles. Of course, Liu Xiu still did a lot of behind-the-scenes work. He bribed the Cao family and his son, who were close friends around Emperor Gengshi, and asked them to plead for him. So, Liu Xiu received this task and went to pacify Hebei as an imperial envoy and acting Grand Sima, but Emperor Gengshi did not give him the army, but was just a commander-in-law.

Northern tour of Hebei is a very important opportunity for Liu Xiu's career development. He now has his own strategic development space. Although he does not have much "capital", he has a stage to show off his own strength. His close friend back then was also a classmate in Taixue . He walked north and followed him.When Liu Xiu's brothers were working under Liu Xuan, Deng Yu did not come out of the mountain. Some people advised him to participate and he would not participate. But when Liu Xiu had his own territory, he knew that the opportunity had come, so he went north and followed him directly.

When I saw Deng Yu, I sat on the bed. Liu Xiu joked with him, do you want to be an official? I now have the right to get an official hat. Deng Yu expressed his own idea - "To the world's strategy", which is of the same significance as the later Longzhong match, as well as the previous Hanxin Hanzhong pair, which is of the same significance. When an emperor starts a cause, makes achievements, and determines his strategic development goals, he needs to have a clear plan. Deng Yu's judgment revealed a clear strategic goal, which is to develop and strengthen his team, seek greater development space, and finally create his own world.

Two prerequisites for making this judgment are: the first is the understanding of Liu Xuan Gengshi Group, and the second is the expectations and understanding of Liu Xiu himself. He said that Emperor Gengshi was a mediocre person and could not fully control the political situation. The generals under him were even more mediocre. He was determined to make money and fight for power, and he was just arriving at it day and night. He had no clear development goals and did not understand the principle of respecting the Lord and safeguarding the people. Therefore, they could not accomplish great things. Deng Yu believed that only Liu Xiu had the ability to rebuild the country and restore the Han Dynasty. What we need to do now is to win people's hearts and "recruit heroes and please people's hearts."

Deng Yu's "behind the bed" plan for the world and his analysis of the entire current situation is very clear. He first gets done, and then he can do the great cause of the world. These words must coincide with Liu Xiu's heart.
