One Hundred and Fourteen: Battle of Chengchang [1]

Xiao Chang'an gathered for a battle, and Liu Xiu was obsessed with it, and his family was ruined and his relatives were betrayed. If Liu Xiu has not regretted it, it is absolutely false, but with the precipitation of time, the word regret has been replaced by the word revenge.

Speaking of the newly moved Wang An, the others are no longer in Wancheng, the reason is because Wang Mang sent his fifth son, Wang Xingming, to travel to the four states of Liang, And, You, and Hebei, but to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle to seize Wang An's foundation.

"Father, I am an exemplary example in terms of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but why do you still hate me so much, why is this?" Under the cover of night, Wang An couldn't figure out why his father Wang Mang would guard him like a thief, and what he didn't expect was that in addition to his younger brother Wang Xing, his uncle Wang Xun also went to Jingzhou to almost swallow up the power he had just established.

"Fifth brother, go back! This is not the place you can be. ”

The four states of Liang, He, You, and Ji are also more complicated in Jizhou, and some people are dissatisfied with the status quo and privately serve Wang Xing, hoping to be rewarded.

"Third brother, I am here from my father's royal palace, and it is not up to you to decide whether to retreat or not." Wang An deceived and disappeared into the world, and the quiet development of power showed that he was afraid of Wang Mang, Wang Xing was not sure whether he had fought Wang An, but he was sure that Wang An would not dare to kill him.

"Fifth brother, listen to my advice, if you can't get what you want here, it's a complete waste of time." Wang An can be described as Dundun's teachings to his younger brother Wang Xing, but Wang Xing just can't listen to it, the main reason is that the sixth Wang Kuang has been appreciated by his father Wang Mang, and he has been promoted to the Taishi and led an army to encircle and suppress the Red Mei Army.

When it comes to encircling and suppressing Chimei, I have to mention the sixth Wang Kuang, who led the army for the first time, he was the main commander, Lian Dan was the deputy commander, and led 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Yan and Qing Erzhou.

"This group of people is in a trance, they must be trying to harm me, hurry up and take them down!"

"This little lady looks frightened when she sees me, there must be a ghost, hurry up and take it down and send it to my tent, I want to interrogate it!"

100,000 officers and troops marched eastward, although Wang Kuang despised the lives of the people, but this was a common problem of the superiors, and all those in power would feel that there was nothing wrong with it, but it was the unspoken rules in this circle that gave the Red Mei Army a chance to play. Dong Xian, the commander of the Red Eyebrow Division, offered a plan, and together with Fan Chong, Yang Yin's headquarters and Suo Luhui's department, he made up stories to slander the image of the officers and soldiers, and even drew on the allusions of nursery rhymes in previous years, and wrote a ballad from himself, which roughly means: "I'd rather meet the red eyebrows, not the Taishi, the Taishi is acceptable, and kill me at the beginning!" ”

Yan and Qing Erzhou are the nests of the Red Mei Army, and the people have long been convinced by the combination of land and food, and now their own lives are more comfortable, and the officials and soldiers come to say that their lives are not in accordance with the rules, which is illegal, and anyone will have complaints in this situation.

There are complaints and there is a leading brother, roll up his sleeves and do it, naturally it has become the best choice, the bold and eager people either ran to the enemy or exaggerated to steal the official army food and grass, Wang Kuang and Lian Dan at first still had the idea of quelling the gossip, and the extrajudicial grace released the thieves, but who wanted to greet them was not grateful but more and more, more and more bold thieves, Wang Kuang, Lian Dan's patience was worn out, and the soldiers were ordered to kill the thieves!

Fight rice to raise grace, bear rice to raise revenge!

The image of 100,000 officers and soldiers was once again scandalized by the Red Mei Army, and it was even rumored that they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil along the way.

"I'm fed up, this group of people is simply lawless, and not slaughtering them is not enough to vent their anger!" Before Wang Kuang set out to quell the chaos, he set himself up as an image of taking the well-being of the people as his own responsibility, being diligent, thrifty, cherishing the people's strength, and obeying advice, but now he has been scandalized by the Red Eyebrow Army as a scum who is indiscriminate and cruel to the people. Wang Kuang, who was thunderous, ordered the army to rush to Wuyan City.

The people in the city were invited to leave early, leaving only a garrison of more than 10,000 people and a large amount of combustible and combustible materials. Wang Kuang and Lian Dan's strength is ten times that of Suo Luhui, according to the art of war, the best strategy should be to besiege the city, which can make the enemy army starve of food and water, and can fight the enemy's reinforcements with leisure and hard work, but Wang Kuang has been disgusted by the Red Eyebrow Army all the way, and he didn't follow the art of war at all, and directly launched a fierce attack on Wuyan City, and Suo Luhui almost doubted his life, if it weren't for a few people dressed as strategists who kept reminding Suo Luhui that this was a strategic deployment, he was afraid that he would even forget about setting fire to Wuyan City.

As soon as 100,000 officers and soldiers entered the Saltless City, they saw that the city was full of fires, and the fire turned into a monstrous fire with a large amount of combustibles and combustibles.

"Burn the city! Since this gang of thieves dares to burn the city! "There are still some rules for fighting wars in this era, such a heart-wrenching thing like the burning of the city is rare once in a hundred years, don't look at the burning of the saltless city did not hurt the people, but Wang Kuang and Lian Dan were both angry, and after counting the losses of the army, they ordered the army to be diverted to the southwest, vowing to kill the fleeing Suo Lu Hui and Dong Xian who were responsible for the response.

The Red Eyebrow Army's escape to Liangdi was just a pretense, but in fact, it was a strategy to secretly cross Chen Cang and count the strategy of even returning the plan, and the 100,000 officers and soldiers rushed to blood and hated without seeing the doorway, so that they were ambushed in Chengchang County.

The Red Eyebrow Headquarters led by Fan Chong and Yang Yin, Dong Xian and Suo Luhui's respective Red Eyebrow Divisions, and even the leader Zi Lizi, who had not shown up for a long time, brought men and horses to help, and the total strength was comparable to that of the official army.

As the so-called narrow road meets, the brave wins, Wang Kuang and Lian Dan didn't think that the ragtag army composed of chaotic people could fight with the elite under their command, and then issued an order to launch a fierce attack.

The opposite of what is said is that the development of things is contrary to wishes, and it is also a true portrayal of Wang Kuang and Lian Dan at the moment, there are four elite divisions in the Red Eyebrow Army, the Red Hair Heavenly Army, the Long Knife Army, the Lux Battalion, and the Heavy Armor Army, which belong to Fan Chong, Yang Yin, Dong Xian, and Lizi.

What about the ragtag army that said it was good?

The four elite divisions of the Red Eyebrow Army are above the officers and troops in terms of combat power and adaptability, and they are extremely fast and unstoppable, and they brutally split the officers and troops into four pieces, and when Wang Kuang and Lian Dan reacted, they found that the general trend had gone, and their offensive and defensive camps were completely disrupted.
