Regarding the defeat on the front line, the discord between the generals and commanders, and the results of the disposal, Liu Chengyou was not as indignant as he was in the imperial tent, but only sent his retinue and Wang Yu back to pass on his edict to let the troops in front of the Hezhong camp rest and recuperate, soothe the morale of the army, and restore morale for the next step to quell the rebellion. In addition, the position of the deployment of the camp in the Baiwenke River was emphasized.

The "benevolence" of the Son of Heaven made the generals on the front line a little embarrassed, especially Bai Wenke, the veteran is also a great Han Yuancong, although the friendship with Liu Chengyou is not deep, but I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to have such a measure at such a young age. Zhou Hui was a little ashamed and a little apprehensive, except for arresting He Hui and Fan Aineng, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and kept a low profile.

The so-called shame and courage, if it is said that when the forbidden army was first defeated, the armies in the river still had a little schadenfreude, but the rebels had a slight momentum, and they dared to send the Tancai south to check, which would slap all the officers and soldiers in the face.

On the other hand, the old generals who are full of camps on the front line, such as Bai Wenke, Zhao Hui and others, will not really think that the Son of Heaven has no big reaction to the defeat and will not pursue it. Perhaps with the psychology of atonement for sins, with the support of Zhao Hui and others, on the third day of the defeat, Bai Wenke personally led the army north.

Just as Liu Chengyou expected, the victory in front of him had a great impact on the situation, and the rebels in the city suddenly had some confidence. The achievements and momentum gathered by the officers and soldiers in the past are like tires with a hole pierced, leaking.

And Li Shouzhen also seemed to have opened his mind and reacted to how to fight this battle. It is to coax, rely on the fortified city, fight a defensive counterattack, and drag the imperial army to wait for the times to change. If the officers and soldiers show any flaws, they will also attack decisively.

For example, when Bai Wenke and others led the army, forced into the south of the city, and went down to the village. Li Shouzhen was so bold that he dared to personally lead the army out of the city to attack and disturb his village.

Li Shouzhen had a good calculation in his heart, wanted to imitate the past, and took advantage of the unstable foothold of the official army to catch him off guard. As everyone knows, Bai Wenke and the others have already taken precautions, or in other words, luring the rebels out of the city is also one of the purposes.

The number of officers and troops outside the city must not be much, and the composition is complex, the commanders are different, and the coordination and execution are not precise enough. However, except for the Huazhou Army, the rest of them have good combat effectiveness. In terms of combat strength alone, the rebels in the city, except for Li Shouzhen's tooth soldiers, are not enough to see at all.

Although each fought its own battle, but after a fierce battle, the officials and soldiers came out together, and Wang Yan was invited to help the battle from Linjin, and directly killed Li Shouzhen and returned to the city. The small bottom army was ashamed of the snow, and fought particularly hard, and the left wing commanded Sun Li to rush forward with blood, leading the army to cover the killing, and after wanting to follow the defeated army, he rushed into the city, but failed, and was injured by two arrows in his body.

Li Shouzhen retreated back to the city at the cost of abandoning the thousands of Pu troops behind the palace. This time the attack, the momentum of the rebels was suppressed again, and there were more than 2,000 soldiers in the direct battle.

The goal of the official army this time was obviously not to become a fat man in one bite, and after killing the rebels, they calmly set up a village in the south of the city. After gaining a firm foothold, the thousands of people recruited were pulled to the front line to increase and consolidate the camp. After the establishment of the southern camp, it moved to the east of the city, set up a new barracks, and saw a large area of military camps rising up outside the city.

Liu Chengyou's side, starting from Shiqiao Town, passing through Shaanzhou, crossing Pinglu, and moving along the route of the Xiaodi Army's march, lasted four days and arrived at the foot of Hedong City. Prior to this, the Xingjie army and the scattered commanders had escorted the arrival of that part of the food and equipment, and at the same time made the besieging officers and soldiers stand more firmly on their heels. With the arrival of Liu Chengyou's army, the siege of Hedong City was completely consolidated.

More than 50,000 horses and forbidden troops, counting the soldiers of various states and towns, plus nearly 30,000 people recruited successively, the number of Hedong City has really exceeded 100,000, and it can be claimed to be at least 200,000 troops. Its momentum is numerous, the soldiers are strong, the flag is waving, and it is boundless.

Under the enemy city, Liu Chengyou issued an edict in advance, and there was no need to arrange any welcoming ceremonies, the military system, first of all, he ordered the generals and colonels of each army to lead his subordinates and stationed in the two-sided company camps that had been formed. However, the 100,000-level camp is not something that can be easily built in a few days, and it still needs to be expanded and repaired.

This expedition, quelling the rebellion in the river, while shocking the world, is also to deter the state and town of Guanyou. The town army here has not seen such a large-scale war or such a huge army for some years.

After the armies were stationed, Liu Chengyou, accompanied by the generals of the armies, began to inspect the camps, personally inspect the soldiers, and let the armies see their emperor. Not only the soldiers of the Zhuzhen Domain, but even the soldiers of the forbidden army who served in the conscription, most of them knew that they were protecting the Son of Heaven, but they did not see his true face.

The emperor's "pro-army" move had a miraculous effect, and was warmly welcomed by all the generals and soldiers, surging, and under the encouragement of some generals and schools, the voices of "long live" and "long live" rose one after another.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Liu Chengyou traveled by imperial chariot, but every time he arrived at a battalion, he got out of the chariot, stood on the wheel, and waved to the soldiers and people who came forward around the tent. Any move of the Son of Heaven has attracted cheers from the crowd.

Liu Chengyou's move is actually very risky, because maybe he will come with a hidden arrow. However, there are risks that have to be taken. Just by virtue of the royal chariot and the deafening cheers, it is worth doing so.

Of course, although Liu Chengyou was intoxicated by the enthusiasm of the soldiers, he was very clear in his mind and should not take it too seriously. He just satisfied the curiosity of the sergeants, and the military was supportive, but it didn't come to that point.

However, after Liu Chengyou's show, morale was even more boosted. The warm atmosphere was infectious, and many people were caught up in the tide of mountain shouting.

The cheers of 100,000 people, deafening, rushed straight into the dry clouds and into the city, causing the guards to tremble. When Li Shouzhen heard the sound and climbed the city wall, and then looked at the official barracks, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

The officers and soldiers are naturally worth fearing, but if the morale is so strong, then for him, it is really not good.

The sound spread for several miles, directly over the city, across the Yellow River, and to the two army camps on the west bank. During this time, Yao Yuanfu and Song Yanwu had already led the army of Sanzhou, set up camp in front of the rebel Xizhai, and kept a firm eye on the rebel Xizhai, and the two cooperated quite well.

Knowing that the Son of Heaven had arrived, and hearing his cheers, Yao Yuanfu and Song Yanwu also ordered their soldiers to shout long live in tacit understanding, and sang peace with the east coast.

In a short period of time, outside Hedong City, on both sides of Pujin, there are long live voices.

When the imperial chariot passed by the eastern and western military camps, Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Liu Chengyou under the autumn sun from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and there was excitement between his expressions, and he shouted "Long live" in a few voices.

muttered silently in his heart: This son of heaven is not simple, the army's heart is settled, and the morale has been flourishing since then!
