My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Kunyang is still holding on.

At this time, Liu Xiu, along with Li Yi, Liu Xiu and thirteen others, successfully arrived at Dingling, Yancheng and other places.

However, when Liu Xiu hopefully summoned local generals to discuss sending troops to reinforce Kunyang, he encountered astonishing and unexpected resistance.

These generals, after years of fighting and slaying enemies across the country, had finally accumulated a considerable amount of wealth. At this moment, their eyes were only focused on the mountains of vested interests before them, completely ignoring the critical moment in Kunyang where life and death hung in the balance.

A burly general with a face full of flesh suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand. The sound was like a thunderclap. He shouted at the top of his voice: "We have fought desperately to gain a foothold in Dingling and Yancheng, and accumulated these hard-earned assets. How can we give them up so easily? Now we divide our forces to rescue Kunyang. If something happens, won't all our years of hard work be wasted in an instant? I think it is best for us to stay here and protect these treasures with all our strength!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately echoed by many people.

"Yes, Kunyang is so far away from us, and the road is full of swords and dangers. Why bother to wade into this bottomless muddy water?"

"Preserving what we have now is the real benefit. Reinforcing Kunyang would involve unimaginable risks!"

For a moment, the voices of opposition in the tent rose and fell like waves, each wave higher than the last.

Liu Xiu's eyes were as sharp as torches, his expression was solemn and determined. He looked at every general present with his sword-like gaze and his voice was like a bell.

"Commanders, please calm down for a moment and think carefully! What we face today is not a matter of the petty gains and losses of a city or a piece of land. It is a crucial decision that concerns life and death, and will determine our future destiny! If we can unite as one, work together, and bravely defeat the enemy, the treasures and wealth we will gain in the future will be far greater than these insignificant gains we have now. They will surely be a thousand times greater! More importantly, if we can achieve a complete victory in this battle, we will take an extremely solid step forward in our great cause. But if we are defeated by the enemy, we will lose even our heads and lives, so what is the point of talking about gold, silver, and wealth? Are you really willing to give up this crucial battle that will be remembered for generations to come, and will be etched in history, for the sake of a few petty gains?"

However, some generals still looked hesitant, as unmoved as wooden carvings or clay sculptures.

At this moment, Li Yi stepped forward. He spoke earnestly, each word coming from the heart: "Brothers, we have come this far, enduring countless bloody battles, countless hardships and dangers, to finally achieve this hard-earned situation today. Kunyang is a vital strategic stronghold for our Green Forest Army. If we lose it, the enemy will surely advance like a flood and a beast, and our situation will become even more dangerous. Moreover, as Green Forest Army soldiers, we shoulder the sacred mission of overthrowing that brutal and inhumane tyranny and saving the people of the world from suffering. How can we cowardly retreat at this moment because of our own selfish interests?"

Seeing that some generals were still hesitating and wavering, Liu Xiu knew that he had to come up with a more convincing and exciting strategy.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke confidently, "Everyone, I've carefully ascertained that while the new army may appear numerous and imposing, they've come a long way and are already exhausted. Furthermore, they've been besieging the city for a long time, unable to capture it. Their morale is waning like the setting sun. If we can seize this opportunity and launch a surprise attack from the rear, we'll surely disrupt their formation and plunge them into chaos. Furthermore, the military and civilians of Kunyang are united in purpose and will spare no effort in cooperating with us. With this pincer attack from both inside and outside, defeating the enemy will be a piece of cake. This is a golden opportunity sent by heaven. If we miss it, we'll likely never rise again!"

Liu Xiu's words were resounding, like the earth-shaking morning bells and evening drums, striking heavily on everyone's heart and shaking their souls.

Finally, under the guidance of Liu Xiu and Li Yi's persuasive and emotional speeches, as well as their highly feasible and confident tactical analysis, the soldiers of each camp woke up from their dreams and their lofty ambitions were rekindled. They were deeply moved by Liu Xiu and Li Yi's foresight and extraordinary courage, and regretfully realized their own short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness.

Therefore, the soldiers of each camp followed Liu Xiu, Li Yi and others, with the firm determination to burn their boats and face death with indifference, and took firm and powerful steps towards the Kunyang area and advanced firmly.

At this time, Mu Zheng was reading a letter, which was about the situation in Wancheng.

"Brother Mu, we haven't been able to capture Wancheng yet. What should we do? This will greatly affect our army's momentum."

Mu Zheng frowned.

If she remembered correctly, historically, Liu Xiu led his troops back to Kunyang area on the first day of June, and now it was the end of May, which meant that they only needed to hold on for another four or five days before they could see the light.

Four or five days...

It's not long, it's not long, it's not short.

Especially after being besieged by the new army for such a long time, the Han army had shown signs of weakness.

No, he had to find a way to boost the morale of the troops.

"Li Lian!"

"Ok?"

"Tell my words that Wancheng has been conquered!"

"what?"
