Chapter 72

He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the sky screen:

"Gaozu, Wudi, the later descendant Liu Xiu, fortunately did not fail the mission! Xiu only inherited the ancestor's foundation, how dare I accept such undeserved praise..."

Before the words fell, the image on the sky screen changed, starting to introduce his life:

【Come, post the bullet comment on "Xiu'er" or "Meteorite Summoner"!】

【Liu Xiu, born in 6 BC (the first year of Jianping of Western Han Emperor Ai).

He is the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Born in Jiyang County, Chenliu Commandery (today's Lankao, Henan).】

【How did Liu Xiu live since he was a child? It's the standard configuration of an inspirational story.

He is the ninth-generation grandson of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, but by his father Liu Qin's generation, he was just a small Nanton county magistrate.

When Liu Xiu was 9 years old, his father died, and the three siblings were adopted by their uncle Liu Liang, changing from a second-generation official to an orphan living under someone else's roof.】

Liu Xiu nodded slightly, he lost his father when he was young, his family fell, and he tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

【According to the "Book of the Later Han," Liu Xiu "was diligent in farming," a solid farming expert, and liked to be busy in the fields when he had nothing to do.

His eldest brother Liu Yan was a Jianghu boss, who spent all day making friends and calling friends, often mocking his younger brother for digging for food in the fields:

"You have no ambition, just like Liu Bang's second brother Liu Zhong!"】

Liu Xiu's old face flushed.

Eldest brother... eldest brother did often say that to him.

But he understands now, what's wrong with farming?

People take food as heaven, if you don't know how to farm, how can you know the suffering of the people?

【At the age of 20, Liu Xiu went to the Imperial Academy in Chang'an to study, majoring in "Shangshu."

Although his knowledge was not profound, this experience broadened his horizons.

On the streets of Chang'an, he saw the grand scene of the Jinwu patrol, and remembered the beauty Yin Lihua in his hometown, and couldn't help but send that bullet comment that has been passed down through the ages:

"Marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua!"】

Liu Xiu's mouth raised slightly.

Jinwu, Yin Lihua... that was his dream when he was young.

Now, he is the emperor, married Lihua, the dream came true, and even far exceeded expectations.

On the sky screen, another line of bullet comments floated by:

【Cao Cao (Wei Wudi): @Liu Xiu Xiu'er, we are both fighting for the world, your luck is too good, right?

Meteorites hitting enemies, heavy rain helping to attack the city, why didn't I have meteorites hitting Zhou Yu in the Battle of Red Cliffs back then? This is unfair!

Also, your "Marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua," I envy you!

Empress Bian is good, but she doesn't have that first love feeling of yours!】

Liu Xiu: "..."

Cao Cao? That "capable minister in troubled times, traitor in chaotic times" mentioned by the sky screen? Also envies him?

Also, Battle of Red Cliffs? What is that? Meteorites hitting Zhou Yu? What is all this?

He was confused, and the sky screen continued:

【However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

After graduating from the Imperial Academy, Liu Xiu didn't become an official, but instead became a fugitive because he was involved in a crime committed by a guest, and hid in his brother-in-law Deng Chen's house to take refuge.

During this period, he also did the business of grain trafficking, a proper low point in life.】

Liu Xiu recalled those days, it was indeed hard.

Hiding here and there, eating the previous meal without the next, if it weren't for his brother-in-law taking him in, he might have starved to death long ago.

【22 AD, the world was in chaos.

Liu Yan prepared to revolt, although Liu Xiu hesitated on the surface, his heart had long been active.

In October of this year, 28-year-old Liu Xiu finally made up his mind and raised his army in Wancheng.

At the beginning, he was so poor that he couldn't even ride a horse, and could only ride a cow to the battlefield —

That's right, Liu Xiu is the only founding emperor in Chinese history to raise an army riding a cow, so netizens gave him the nickname "Emperor on the Cow's Back."】

Liu Xiu's old face flushed again.

Riding a cow to the battlefield... this matter is indeed a bit shabby.

But he was poor at the time, couldn't afford a horse, it was not bad to have a cow to ride.

Didn't expect the Immortal to treat this as an interesting story.

On the sky screen, another line of bullet comments floated by:

【Liu Bei (Han Zhaolie Emperor): @Liu Xiu Ancestor! I, Liu Bei, am a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, but in terms of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, you are the real role model!

I started a difficult business in Shu, and every time I think of you raising an army from riding a cow to unifying the world, I feel that I can hold on a little longer!

The glory of the Great Han, I... I didn't manage to fully restore it after all...】

Liu Xiu was stunned.

Liu Bei? Descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan? Shu?

Could it be... there are still Liu descendants in later generations, continuing the Han Dynasty?

His heart was hot, and he bowed to the sky screen: "Bei... Bei'er? You... you have worked hard."

Although he didn't know who this Liu Bei was, but listening to his tone, he was also a difficult entrepreneur, not easy.

He was sighing, the image on the sky screen changed, entering the main topic:

【Achievement Chapter: The Hacked Life of the Son of the Plane】

【Battle of Kunyang, the God-Sealing Battle of the Great Archmage.

23 AD, Wang Mang sent Grand Minister Wang Xun and Grand Minister Wang Yi to lead 420,000 troops (claimed to be one million) to besiege Kunyang.

There were less than 10,000 Green Forest Army soldiers in Kunyang city, and the generals all wanted to abandon the city and flee.

At the critical moment, Liu Xiu pushed aside all objections and led 13 people to break through the siege at night to seek reinforcements.

After he brought reinforcements, he personally led 3,000 daredevils to charge the enemy camp.

Just at this time, a magical thing happened —

First, meteorites fell into the New Camp, then strong winds and heavy rain, thunder like drums, Wang Mang's army fell into chaos, trampled on each other, and tens of thousands drowned.

Liu Xiu defeated 420,000 troops with more than 10,000 people, creating the most exaggerated victory with few against many in human war history.

Later netizens gave him two nicknames because of this:

"Son of the Plane" (Heaven's own son) and "Great Archmage" (Art of Summoning Meteorites).】

The image cooperated with the explanation, appearing dynamic images:

Outside Kunyang City, the black-pressed army besieged the city, and the defenders in the city were shivering.

Liu Xiu led a dozen people to break through the siege at night, brought reinforcements, and then personally led the daredevils to charge.

Just when the battle between the two armies was most intense, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge fireball dragging a long tail flame smashed into the New Army camp!

Immediately after, strong winds rose, heavy rain poured down, thunder and lightning flashed, Wang Mang's New Army was in chaos, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties.

Liu Xiu stood on the city wall, looking at this scene, and he was bewildered himself.

At that time... it seems there was indeed such a thing.

But that meteorite, that heavy rain, was it really summoned by him? He didn't have that ability!

He was just a farmer, at most he knew some military strategy, where would he know any "Art of Summoning Meteorites"!

He was about to explain, but the bullet comments on the sky screen had already exploded:

【Ying Zheng (Qin Shi Huang): @Liu Xiu This... this is also okay?!

I didn't see meteorites hitting enemies when I destroyed the six states back then!

Your luck, I admire!】

【Liu Bang (Han Taizu Gao Emperor): Hahahaha! Xiu'er! Well done! This is called destiny!

I beheaded the white snake back then, you summoned meteorites, our Liu family is favored by heaven!】

【Liu Che (Han Wudi): @Liu Xiu Xiu'er, I can't learn this operation of yours.

If I had this luck, I wouldn't have had to fight the Northern Expedition for so many years, I would have just summoned meteorites to smash the Xiongnu royal court.】

【Li Shimin (Tang Taizong): @Liu Xiu Brother Liu, I don't know what to say.

In the Battle of Hulao Pass, I broke 100,000 with 3,000, and I already felt it was a miracle.

You broke 420,000 with 10,000, and also had meteorite assistance... I can only say, admire.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang (Ming Taizu): @Liu Xiu Old Liu, you've gone too far with this hack!

When I fought Chen Youliang back then, if there was a meteorite hitting his ship, I could have saved so many brothers!】

Liu Xiu looked at these bullet comments, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He really wanted to shout: That wasn't summoned by me! That was a coincidence! Pure coincidence!】
