Chapter 185 Liu Xiu Calls for Reinforcements
"Because Liu Xiu is generally perceived as cautious and valuing his life, his statement 'Let's fight!' is quite surprising. What a stark contrast!"
A farming expert from the Song Dynasty: But given the number of people, it's normal to back down!
A poet from the Qing Dynasty: Usually, at times like these, the opinions of important figures are correct!
A soldier from the Ming Dynasty: That's quite amazing!
……
In another timeline, Emperor Wu of Han thought this descendant of the Liu family was quite good. He was cautious when he needed to be, and bold when he needed to be. Perhaps under his leadership, the Han Dynasty could continue the prosperity of the Western Han Dynasty.
……
Back to the live broadcast room.
"Liu Xiu's suggestion was not without reason. In his view, they were short of troops and supplies. If we eventually scattered and fled, we would likely be pursued one by one by the enemy, and in the end, we would gain nothing!"
"Besides, our main force is all in Wancheng. If Kunyang falls, Wancheng will easily fall to Wang Mang's army. So why don't we muster the courage to fight to the death?"
"If someone who's usually the most cautious and timid tells you not to run away and just do it, would you believe them? Without God's perspective, I would find it hard to believe such a person, especially since the area outside the city is a vast, dark mass that stretches as far as the eye can see."
"So Liu Xiu's impassioned speech successfully drew a barrage of curses from most of the people present. Who do you think you are? You're usually so timid! Oh, and you've got the nerve to teach us! Go to hell...blah blah blah!"
"Liu Xiu was usually taciturn, so many people's opinions of him were largely based on his brother's influence, and he himself had no real achievements."
"Just as everyone was at a stalemate, a scout reported that Wang Mang's army was about to besiege the city. Even if they wanted to run away, they couldn't. So the group asked Liu Xiu how to deal with it. Since you said you wanted to stay, you have to provide a solution!"
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: If he could have run away, he would have run away long ago. He just wants to find someone to take the blame!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty: Knowing the outcome, I congratulate them on being on the right side! Although it was forced, hahaha!
Big Han Liu Zhuzhu: I'm impressed by this group of people!
……
As Lin Ke said this, she silently added in her mind: Your meteorite is about to arrive!
"Liu Xiu quickly came up with a solution, telling Wang Feng, Wang Yang and others to hold Kunyang while he, Liu Xiu, rushed out to fetch reinforcements (meteorites)."
"And this suspected act of running away makes most people feel that this guy is unreliable. You've run away, but they're still here! Are you trying to make us take the blame?"
"Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Liu Xiu stood firm in his choice. He explained that he would not allocate many troops, but would only take a few people to fetch reinforcements."
That very night, Liu Xiu led thirteen riders, including Zong Tiao and Li Tie, out of the south gate of Kunyang. Fortunately, Wang Mang's army had not yet fully regrouped when Liu Xiu charged out; they were just a hair's breadth away from being completely united!
A farming expert in the Ming Dynasty: Those who can become emperors, especially founding emperors, have a lot of luck involved!
A young boy from the Song Dynasty said: "Maybe we'd have to surrender before Liu Xiu even returned! He doesn't seem like the kind of person with much backbone!"
A lazy official from the Han Dynasty said: Sometimes it's just a matter of a tiny difference; as the saying goes, a miss is as good as a mile.
