Liu Xiu was originally a relative of this country, but by Liu Xiu's generation, his family had declined. Liu Xiu's parents died a long time ago, and he and his brother lived alone. Farming in the farmland all day can make a living and not starve to death.
Later, Wang Mang usurped the world of the Western Han Dynasty and became emperor himself. Because Wang Mang's policy was too advanced, people at that time could not accept it at all, so neither the upper nobility nor the lower people supported Wang Mang and opposed his rule. Later, many people in the world rose up.
When Liu Xiu confronted Wang Mang's army, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky. Wang Mang's army was quickly killed by meteorites, and the morale of the army began to decline. When Liu Xiu saw this situation, he immediately took his 8,000 troops and began to charge. The confused Wang Mang army began to retreat and forgot to fight back.
Wang Mang's army, which claimed to be a million, was completely annihilated. In this process, Liu Xiu basically didn't deal with it, and always watched the play as an audience.
