Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 801: Traveler Wang Mang! (2 in 1)
The sky was hazy, and the Kunyang battlefield suddenly rained heavily, and the wind was howling.
The Han army was only a mere tens of thousands of people, but they were chasing and killing hundreds of thousands of new troops.
The rain soaked Chutian's shirt, and Chutian led his cavalry to pursue Wang Mang in the torrential rain.
"This rainstorm, it is estimated that the sand and dust raised by the meteorite changed the weather here, and summer is already the rainy season..."
Chu Tian wanted to understand the cause and effect, and was inexplicably shocked by Liu Xiu's ability.
Liu Xiu is nicknamed the Great Mage.
Chu Tian thought he was the inferior side in the battle of Kunyang, but now it seems that the Green Forest Army may not be the inferior side...
The great magician Liu Xiu is so terrifying.
Wang Mang's army of 800,000 people was completely out of control. These soldiers recruited from various prefectures and counties, led by the state shepherd and the prefect, fled north.
The northern part of Kunyang City is the Shushui River. At this time, it is the flood season. Coupled with the heavy rain caused by the meteorites, the water level of the Shushui River has risen sharply, and the pontoon bridge originally erected by the new army has been washed away.
"Quickly set up a pontoon bridge to protect His Majesty from going north and drive back to Chang'an!"
Wang Mang's generals and classmates Yan You protected Wang Mang to go north. They found that the water was soaring and the pontoon bridge disappeared, so they tried to build a new pontoon bridge.
Hundreds of thousands of troops crowded in the Shushui area, in chaos.
Wang Mang was mentally tired, and he was even more tired because he already had wrinkles.
He has been preparing for this day for a long time. He has a strong army, no shortage of weapons, food and grass. He is like a cloud of fierce generals, but he was hit by a meteorite.
Perhaps the older he got, the more he believed in fate, and Wang Mang was a little discouraged.
The defeat of the Kunyang battle will destroy his prestige. Even if he flees back to Chang'an at this time, Wang Mang no longer has the confidence to control the situation.
In the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, peasant uprisings and tyrannical forces rose up everywhere, not only the Green Forest Army, but also the Chimei Army and other forces in the north.
Having lost the most important main force, Wang Mang was unable to deal with the Green Forest Army and the Chimei Army at the same time.
"Yan You, when we return to Chang'an, can we really be able to pacify the four barbarians and establish an unprecedented new dynasty as before?"
Wang Mang asked his old friend Yan You in the heavy rain, his tone was vicissitudes.
Yan You replied firmly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, when we return to Chang'an, we will be able to re-pacify the world. What you have done must be right."
"I hope so."
Wang Mang was already a little worried.
Chu Tian, Liu Xiu, and Liang Hongyu were still chasing the enemy in the rear. Wang Mang's army was huge, and it was not easy to find Wang Mang in the chaotic army.
"Going forward is the water!"
Liu Xiu didn't know how many soldiers he had captured, and he chased him all the way to Shushui, north of Kunyang City.
Wang Mang had to cross the Shushui if he wanted to escape.
"The river suddenly swelled, Wang Mang might not be able to escape!"
Chu Tian's goal became to capture Wang Mang alive.
Wang Mang is the emperor of the new dynasty. After capturing Wang Mang alive, he may get a high ransom, or he may complete the task of this epic battle more completely.
Chu Tian and Liu Xiu caught up with the main force of Wang Mang's army in Shushui. Wang Mang used some of the wooden boats he had prepared in Shushui in advance to build a pontoon bridge. All the soldiers and horses crowded on the pontoon to escape for their lives. The pontoon bridge was swept away by the surging river.
"Protect Your Majesty to retreat to the North Shore. Those who dare to block the way will be killed without mercy!"
"The Nine Tigers of the Northern Army, you command the elite soldiers of the Northern Army and block the pursuers!"
The Nine Tigers of the Northern Army recruited by Wang Mang, commanding the five schools of the Northern Army, not only blocked the chasing troops, but also blocked the defeated army.
Yan You protected Wang Mang from crossing the river, cut down the chaotic soldiers, and made a **** path.
After dozens of soldiers were killed because of Yan You's severe methods, the soldiers who had been defeated were finally not so crazy, and were forced to give up a passage. Wang Mang came to the north shore.
On the south bank of the Shushui River, the cavalry of Chutian, Liu Xiu, and Liang Hongyu converged and attacked the new army, trying to eliminate Wang Mang's main force as much as possible without giving Wang Mang any chance to come back.
The human life in troubled times is like a mustard.
More than a thousand new soldiers were driven into the river by cavalry, and thousands drowned.
The incoming cavalry and the elite soldiers of the Northern Army fought in the torrential rain. The Nine Tigers of the Northern Army received the favor of Wang Mang and fought desperately to the death!
The generals Ma Wu and Wang Ba lead the cavalry to attack the Nine Tigers of the Northern Army!
Now the Lvlin Army and the Xia Army are at an advantage, their morale is like a rainbow, and they are not afraid of the new army that has been defeated.
Once this main force is annihilated, Wang Mang will have no room for a comeback.
Yingchuan County is not far from Luoyang, and the Green Forest Army can break into Hulao Pass in just a few months, approaching Luoyang, and then Chang'an.
Moreover, because of the defeat, the generals around Wang Mang are no longer reliable. When they find that Wang Mang will not bring them more benefits, they may betray Wang Mang, or even kill Wang Mang and surrender to the Green Forest Army.
In short, Wang Mang's life is in danger.
The rain was running down Ma Wu's sword, and one of the nine tigers of the Northern Army was beheaded by Ma Wu and fell into a puddle.
"Where is Wang Mang!"
Ma Wu also knew that catching Wang Mang alive would be an unprecedented achievement.
Chutian is just a rebel army, and Liu Xiu is one of the important leaders of the Green Forest Army. After the battle of Kunyang, he can basically become famous in one battle.
Military exploits are very important in troubled times, so it is often seen that someone has been in the prime of life because of his merit in a certain war.
The Nine Tigers of the Northern Army recruited by Wang Mang were unable to match Ma Wu, the more powerful one among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, and Ma Wu killed two generals in a row.
Liang Hongyu picked up an enemy general with a spear and threw him off.
The morale of Wang Mang's Fifth School of the Northern Army was low, and he was unwilling to fight.
The blood stained the water, and the number of new troops that fell into the water was even greater.
The five schools of the Northern Army scrambled for their lives and squeezed their companions into the river.
Chu Tian watched the one-sided slaughter in the torrential rain. It was a battle without suspense.
Wang Mang's new army did not know that the sand and dust raised by the meteorite would cause a sharp change in the weather because of a vision from the sky. They believed that the sudden rainstorm was also a punishment from the sky, so they had no fighting spirit.
Morale dropped to rock bottom, and no amount of troops would help.
"Chutian!"
While Chu Tian was observing the battlefield in a hurry, Huo Qing led a small group of cavalry to arrive, and the armor was almost soaked by the rain.
"Why did you leave Kunyang City?"
Chu Tian was a little surprised when he saw Huo Qing.
"You'll be fine, do you know that Wang Mang's military camp was hit by a meteorite last night..."
Huo Qing talked about what happened yesterday.
Only their players know how small the probability of such a thing happening.
Chu Tian listened patiently, Wang Mang had no chance of making a comeback, so Chu Tian was not in a hurry at all.
Across the Shushui, Wang Mang was also observing the situation. At least tens of thousands of people died in the Shushui, and Wang Mang couldn't help sighing.
Yan You said: "Your Majesty, it is time for us to return to Chang'an City. Otherwise, the Green Forest Army will kill us along the pontoon bridge, and we may not be able to escape."
"Hey, Yan You, at this time, even if I return to Chang'an City smoothly, do you think I can stabilize those people in Chang'an City after my prestige has declined? There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the eyebrows, and I have lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Can I settle the judgment? If I can't handle any matter, I will return to Chang'an City, and there is only one dead end."
Wang Mang told his former classmates about his worries.
At this time, it is not important whether or not to escape back to Chang'an. What is more important is how to act after returning to Chang'an City, and whether to control the situation.
The 800,000-strong army was almost destroyed. Without this main force, Wang Mang could not protect himself.
Yan You can probably think of the mess Wang Mang will face when he returns to Chang'an, and still encourages Wang Mang: "No, Your Majesty, Qinchuan in Guanzhong is densely populated, and we still have hope. …”
"No, Yan You, we are all old, we lost this war, we have no troops and no time to repress the rebellion... I want to negotiate with the Green Forest Army, and I want to protect myself. Yan You, Where to go next, whether it is to surrender to the Green Forest Army, or return to Guanzhong and become the king by yourself, it is your choice.”
Wang Mang's mood was waning.
He is in his sixties, and the whole country is in chaos. If he wants to completely suppress the rebellions in various places, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it if he is not old and dead.
Yan You added: "Then I will go to negotiate with the Green Forest Army on behalf of His Majesty."
Wang Mang shook his head: "I used to belittle you in the past, but I didn't expect you to be loyal to me in the end. But this time, only if I personally negotiate with the Green Forest Army will be effective."
"But it's too dangerous. The rebels in the Green Forest Army all want your Majesty's life."
"Not really."
The torrential rain continued, Chutian was exhausted, and he no longer wanted to fight.
He has been fighting for two days, barely resting, and the rain has been heavy, so his body can't bear it.
When he learned that Wang Mang had fled to the north bank, he might have fled back to Chang'an, so Chu Tian had no need to pursue him, but returned to Kunyang with Liu Xiu for a rest.
After the battle of Kunyang was won, Chutian could achieve his goal. As for the future of the Green Forest Army, Chutian didn't care. After all, this was just a copy.
"Brother Chu, Wang Mang wants to negotiate with you."
When Liu Xiu found Chutian, her expression was a bit strange, because it was not someone else who wanted to negotiate with Chutian, but Wang Mang.
"So what is there to talk about?"
Chu Tian was stunned. He rarely heard that the dungeon boss would negotiate with the player.
"I don't know, but it is Wang Mang after all. I also want to know what he wants to say."
Aside from Chutian, Liu Xiu was only a little more surprised than Chutian.
Wang Mang first offered a reward to Liu Xiu, and then planned to negotiate with Chu Tian, but Liu Xiu could not see Wang Mang's intention.
"He's coming, or am I?"
"He's here."
"Isn't he afraid that I will kill him? Bring him to meet me."
The more Chu Tian thought about it, the more wrong he became. In the end, he decided to negotiate with Wang Mang.
In any case, Wang Mang came to negotiate, Chutian would not be in any danger. If the negotiation broke down, Chutian killed Wang Mang and then quit the copy, and there would be no loss.
Wang Mang was taken to Kunyang City, and all the generals of the Green Forest Army were staring at the new emperor.
The emperor of the new dynasty actually sought his own death and took the initiative to enter Kunyang City, where the Green Forest Army was stationed.
Wang Mang wanted to see Chutian by name.
Because Chu Tian had more troops and became famous in the battle of Kunyang City, before Chu Tian decided to execute Wang Mang, the generals of the Green Forest Army did not dare to act rashly.
The torrential rain caused by the meteorite continued. When Wang Mang walked into the county office in Kunyang City, he was soaked all over.
Chu Tian, Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun, and Sun Bin waited for Wang Mang to arrive at the county government office.
Wang Mang and Liu Xiu meet historically.
Yan You was also escorted along with Wang Mang. As for Wang Yi, he gathered up the defeated troops on the other side of the Shu River.
"You are Liu Xiu? I didn't expect that I prepared carefully, but I still lost to you."
Wang Mang could not help sighing when he could probably figure out which person was Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's expression is weird: "Why are you so angry with me?"
Wang Mang rolled his eyes.
If it hadn't been for the defeat of Kunyang, his rule might not have collapsed so quickly.
Chu Tian looked at the person in front of him. Wang Mang was in his sixties and his hair was gray: "Why do you want to negotiate with me?"
Wang Mang stared at Chu Tian and said slowly, "You should be a foreigner from "Lord"?"
Chu Tian's heart was shocked, Wang Mang immediately saw Chu Tian's origin, then there was only one possibility - Wang Mang was also a player!
In other words, for Liu Xiu, Wang Feng, Ma Wu and others in this world, Wang Mang is an uncompromising traveler! !
"Come down, I want to talk to Wang Mang."
Chu Tian asked Zhao Yun, Liu Xiu and others to go down. He wanted to know the origin of Wang Mang.
Wang Mang is just an old man now. He basically has no force, nor does he carry any weapons. Chu Tian doesn't believe what Wang Mang can do to himself.
"Follow your orders. If the lord has any mistakes, then Wang Mang will not want to leave."
Before retreating, Zhao Yun warned Wang Mang.
When Wang Mang saw Zhao Yun's image, he seemed to think of something and asked Chu Tian, "Is this general Zhao Yun?"
"Not bad."
Chu Tian was even more convinced that Wang Mang was a player in "Lord", otherwise a person from the Western Han Dynasty would know about Zhao Yun in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Okay, since you've guessed my origin, I want to know yours too."
"I think you should already know that I am also a "Lord" player."
Although Chu Tian guessed something, he was still shocked when he heard Wang Mang voluntarily admit it.
"Why did you appear in the dungeon? And as Wang Mang?"
"I am a free player. In "Lord", I accepted a hidden mission and assumed the role of Wang Mang. And my reward is Wang Mang's identity. I have enjoyed the glory and wealth for decades without any Sorry."
"Impossible, it's only been eleven years since "Lord", how could you have been here for eleven years?"
"The time of the dungeon should not be parallel to the time of the main world. You should also know that the time is relative. But when you enter the dungeon, the time is synchronized."
Chu Tian was relieved when Wang Mang revealed his origins.
No wonder Wang Mang knew that Liu Xiu was his nemesis, so he put a bounty on Liu Xiu and wanted to put Liu Xiu to death.
And long ago, Wang Mang was preparing for this day.
But there are two points that Chutian thinks are wrong.
"Why didn't you kill Liu Xiu before the battle of Kunyang? As a powerful minister of the Western Han Dynasty, or the emperor of the new dynasty, it should be easy to kill a Liu Xiu, right? Why wait until now? Xiu is full of wings, so he managed to get rid of him?"
"Do you think I don't want to kill him? Liu Xiu is protected by the system. Before the battle of Kunyang, if Liu Xiu has three strengths and two weaknesses, the system will judge me as a failure and expel me from the dungeon. It became a passing experience, and I started a family and business here, so I could only choose to be patient. It was not until the battle of Kunyang that the system allowed me to do it, and I realized that I became the boss of the dungeon.”
Wang Mang was very depressed.
"You didn't think that there might be meteorites falling into the army? As long as you avoid the battle of Kunyang, then you have every chance to defeat Liu Xiu."
"I am not familiar with the history of the late Western Han Dynasty. I only know that my old enemy is Liu Xiu, and the battle of Kunyang will be a battle of life and death, but I don't know what happened in the battle of Kunyang. How is it... Unless you think that every traveler must be familiar with the situation at that time. I can rely on Wang Mang's identity to persist until now, which is not easy."
"It makes sense."
After listening to Wang Mang's explanation, Chu Tian fully understood what happened.
Not all traversers are familiar with the historical details. Some players entered the dungeon and did not even know that the Battle of Kunyang took place at the end of the Western Han Dynasty.
Another example is traveling to Emperor Chongzhen, who knows what will happen in which year? I don't know the specifics of a particular battle.
Unless you have a strong memory and are particularly familiar with a certain history, it is possible to cover everything.
Not everyone is a historian, and historians are not familiar with every piece of history.
Wang Mang just didn't know what happened in the Battle of Kunyang, nor did he know that meteorites would fall into the battlefield.
Unaware of what happened, Wang Mang could only try to increase his strength, but he still failed.
"Then what is the purpose of your coming to me?"
"I have already failed in this dungeon. I lost the battle of Kunyang, and I lost all prestige. Even if I return to Chang'an City, I cannot stabilize the situation again. There is only one dead end, and the dungeon does not know whether it will disappear from now on. So I want to use your strength to go back to the Lord. My wife is dead, but I want to take my children."
Wang Mang explained his purpose.
Specifically, Wang Mang, as a player, wanted to quit the dungeon after the dungeon world collapsed.
"As a player, I can help as much as I can, but what can I get out of it?"
Chu Tian learned of Wang Mang's identity as a player and wanted to pull Wang Mang, as long as Wang Mang could afford the fare.
"Of course, I have sent my sons and daughters to come from Chang'an, and also brought a lot of gold and silver treasures, just stop at the north bank, as long as you can take me out, give us a house in the Lord's world, I can give you all these treasures of gold and silver."
"Deal."
Chutian is very happy.
Since Wang Mang took out gold and silver to buy his life, Chu Tian didn't mind being a good person once.
If you save Wang Mang, you can get a lot of gold and silver with no effort. Why not?
The Green Forest Army and the Red Eyebrows Army are eyeing the tigers, and their subordinates have two hearts. If Wang Mang remains in this world, it is really a dead end and cannot be spared.
Chutian is still very tolerant towards players.
Wang Mang couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he met his old friend in a foreign land, he burst into tears: "I didn't expect to see the player again. I thought I would spend my whole life in this dungeon. When I accepted the system quest to enter this dungeon, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had only just begun. It's over, how is the main world now?"
"The secession of the heroes has come to an end, and there are only a few princes left in the world, and I will separate the land of the seven states."
"That's amazing!"
Wang Mang exclaimed, of course he knows what it means to separate the seven states, and there is a high probability of unifying the thirteen states.
"You have had a very good time in this dungeon. You have been emperor for at least fifteen years, and you were a powerful minister before."
Chu Tian thought that Wang Mang was a free player, but he entered the dungeon and became a boss.
According to what he said ~IndoMTL.com~ originally, the time of this dungeon was faster than that of the main world. Until Chu Tian came in, the time of the two worlds was the same.
Therefore, Wang Mang has been nourishing the copy for decades.
Wang Mang complained to Chu Tian, "It's not as comfortable for a traveler to be an emperor. Those **** ministers don't understand my good intentions, but I proposed the Wang Tian system, which prohibits the sale of slaves and changes. The currency system and the official system stipulate that the salt and iron official camps, the mountains and rivers are nationalized, the "Chinese Dictionary" and "Medical Dictionary" are compiled, and the Quartet is also conquered. I have to pretend to be in line with the image of the sages in the eyes of the minister, and those mud-legged sons and relatives of the Liu clan must also oppose me..."
“…”
Chu Tian heard what Wang Mang did and didn't know what to say. Although the system did not force Wang Mang to do these things, after Wang Mang became emperor, he naturally wanted to do something based on the player's thinking. The event, however, led to a large-scale rebellion.
There is a saying that Wang Mang and Liu Xiu are the duel between the transmigrator and the son of the plane, and now it seems that it is true. The son of luck, Liu Xiu, had the support of the system, but Wang Mang was still unable to compete with him.
"You saved me, maybe I can marry a daughter to you."
Wang Mang thought that Chutian had seven states in the main world, and he couldn't help but have the idea of marriage.
"Don't..."
Chu Tian has enough headaches, he still has Huo Qing to deal with. Wang Mang left this copy, it is estimated that there is not much use value.
