Chapter 308: Crazy Counterattack
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xuan looked at Wang Kuang, and Wang Kuang looked at Wang Feng. Wang Feng sighed secretly and said, "I am willing to lead 10,000 troops to enter Yingchuan!" ”
Seeing that Wang Feng took the initiative to ask for help, Liu Xuan was relieved a lot, he nodded again and again, and said with a smile on his face: "There is Chengguo Gong personally leading the troops to the battle, I ...... I'm so relieved. ”
After speaking, Liu Xuan's small eyes rolled around, carefully paying attention to the reactions of everyone present. Seeing that everyone's faces were as usual, and no one showed dissatisfaction, he relieved his heart. He can now call himself 'I' as well.
After deciding on the grand strategy of sending troops to Yingchuan, the next thing to discuss was the specific details of the operation.
In this regard, Liu Xuan basically couldn't interject, and most of them were Wang Feng, Wang Chang, and Liu Xiu discussing.
On the surface, the Han army's expedition to Yingchuan was a large army led by Wang Feng, the prince of Chengguo, but in fact, the internal division of this army was divided into three parts.
One part was the main army of 12,000 people led by Wang Feng, one part was 5,000 soldiers led by Wang Chang, and the other part was 3,000 cavalry led by Liu Xiu.
Of the three parts, Wang Feng commanded the most troops, and the five thousand soldiers under Wang Chang were all the elite of the Xiajiang Army, brave and good at fighting, and had strong combat power, as for Liu Xiu's part, not to mention, three thousand soldiers and horses, all of them were cavalry.
Without further ado, after the strategy and tactics were formulated, the Han army immediately began to prepare for the dispatch of troops to Yingchuan.
The news of Liu Xuan's proclamation as emperor in Nanyang soon spread throughout the country, and the whole country was in an uproar.
At that time, there were many rebel armies in various places, such as red eyebrows, copper horses, green calves and other large and small rebel armies, there were dozens of them, and the Nanyang rebel army was the first to dare to launch an emperor and openly argue with Wang Mang.
Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of Wang Mang of Chang'an. Hearing this, Wang Mang was shocked, angry, and shocked at the same time.
All over the country, the rebel army is everywhere, and the suppression is incomplete, and the peace is not extinguished, in this regard, Wang Mang can also be an ostrich, shrinking in the palace of Chang'an, out of sight, not upset.
But now, he can't even be an ostrich, because a person has stood up and established himself as emperor, restoring the Han court and the legal system, and has posed the most direct threat to him, the emperor of the Great New Dynasty.
In the past, the Red Eyebrow Army was so fierce that it even directly threatened Chang'an, and Wang Mang was not afraid, but Liu Xuan was the emperor in Nanyang, Wang Mang was really afraid, maybe even he had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming.
Wang Mang, who was sitting in Chang'an, panicked, and urgently transferred Dasikong Wangyi and Dasima Wang Xun to Luoyang to take over more than 100,000 Beijing divisions under the command of Taishi Wang Kuang and the national general Aizhang.
At the same time, the soldiers and horses of each county were requisitioned, and the captains of each county were personally led to assemble in Luoyang.
In addition, Wang Mang also issued a nationwide recruitment order to recruit capable people who were proficient in the art of war of 63 schools with heavy money.
In plain life, Wang Mang is a stingy person, stingy with himself, and stingy with his ministers and soldiers.
This time, he was willing to hemorrhage, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to recruit talented people from all over the world, and it can also be seen that Wang Mang is really anxious and afraid now, and he is bent on exterminating the Han army in Nanyang as soon as possible.
The repeated big moves of the Xinmang Imperial Court have also been heard by the Han army.
Liu Xiu and others, who were heading in the direction of Yingchuan, when they walked to Yexian, received news from the spies that Yan You and Chen Mao, who were originally stationed in Yingchuan, had evacuated Yingchuan and went north to Luoyang after receiving an order from the imperial court. The news that the Han army spies grasped was correct, Yan You and Chen Mao were indeed transferred to Luoyang by Wang Mang, and the tens of thousands of troops under their command were all taken over by Wang Yi and Wang Xun. Yan You and Chen Mao, the two unlucky bastards, have become two lights again
Pole Commander. Hearing this news, Wang Feng and Wang Chang were overjoyed, you must know that this time to go to Yingchuan, their biggest resistance and threat is Yan You and Chen Mao, and now Yan You and Chen Mao have been transferred out of Yingchuan and went to Luoyang, and they are here
The battle in Yingchuan will be much easier.
Wang Feng and Wang Changle were so happy that their mouths couldn't close together, but seeing Liu Xiu's frowns, Wang Feng asked puzzledly: "Uncle Wen, Yan You and Chen Mao were transferred to Luoyang by Wang Mang, which is a great thing for our army, why is Uncle Wen worried?" ”
Liu Xiu looked at Wang Feng and Wang Chang, who were full of excitement, and said: "Wang Mang transferred Yan You and Chen Mao to gather an army in Luoyang, what do the two generals think, what does Wang Mang want?" ”
Regardless of official business and position, in private, Wang Feng is still very good and has a good impression of Liu Xiu, after all, Liu Xiu once saved his life, and Wang Feng himself is also a very righteous person.
Hearing Liu Xiu's question, Wang Feng rubbed his chin and muttered, "Reckless thief...... Do you want to completely eradicate the red eyebrows? ”
Liu Xiu asked rhetorically: "General Wang, what if the army assembled by Wang Mang is not to deal with Chimei, but to attack Nanyang?" ”
As soon as he said this, Wang Feng and Wang Chang were shocked, and the two of them stood up in unison, their eyes widened like copper bells, and they looked at Liu Xiu blankly. The current Luoyang is already overcrowded, and there are more than 100,000 troops in the Beijing division of Wang Kuang and Ai Zhang, plus the armies of Yan You and Chen Mao, the strength has exceeded 200,000. And now Luoyang's troops are increasing every day, counties all over the country
The army is rushing to Luoyang in a steady stream. So far, Luoyang's troop strength has been close to 300,000, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it can reach 400,000 or even 500,000.
With so many soldiers and horses, if you really want to attack Nanyang, you don't have to fight with your own strength in Nanyang, and one person will drown your own people with a mouthful of foam.
How is that possible...... Wang Feng didn't want to believe that the army assembled by Wang Yi and Wang Xun was ready to deal with him, and he didn't dare to believe it, it was terrible. He looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes and stammered, "Wen ...... Uncle Wen, the main army of reckless thieves, has been fighting with Chimei, and has suffered losses in the hands of Chimei, this time Wang Yi and Wang Xun gathered an army, and it was also ...... It should too
Is it to deal with red eyebrows? Liu Xiu took a deep breath and said: "No matter how strong the strength of the red eyebrows is, no matter how terrible the combat power is, it has not elected the emperor after all, and it has not posed a direct threat to Wang Mang's throne, but we are different, we have elected the emperor, and it has posed the most deadly threat to Wang Mang." Besides, Wang Mang didn't assemble a large army early or late, so why did he gather a large army after our emperor was elected? If my speculation is correct, Wang Yi Wang Xun's army in Luoyang,
The goal is us! ”
This is also what Liu Xiu is most afraid and worried about. And it happened.
Wang Feng was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how long it took, he pouted, sat back on the collapse, his eyes were dull, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Even Wang Chang, who was so fierce, was oozing a layer of sweat on his forehead at this time.
Inside the tent of the Chinese army, it was silent, only the wheezing sound of people remaining.
Wang Feng muttered, "That...... How many soldiers and horses will Wang Yi and Wang Xun gather in Luoyang? ”
Liu Xiu said firmly: "It will not be less than 400,000!" "If Wang Yi and Wang Xun want to form an army of 300,000 soldiers and horses, the strength of Luoyang is almost the same, but according to the report, the county troops from all over the country are still marching towards Luoyang in a steady stream, which is only one possibility, Wang Yi and Wang Xun
The formation of an army should be far more than 300,000, and at least more than 400,000.
"Not less than 400,000 ......" Wang Feng supported his forehead. Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "If we are not in a hurry to promote the Son of Heaven, Wang Mang will not pay attention to us, he will still regard Red Eyebrows as the number one enemy, but now that we have elected the Son of Heaven, then the situation will be different, one."
The mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and there are no two lords in one country, and if Wang Mang wants to continue to sit on his emperor's throne, he must completely eliminate us. ”
He knew very well in his heart that it was too late to complain about what the Green Forest Department had done now, and he couldn't solve any problems, but he just couldn't calm the resentment in his chest.
For the sake of its own interests, the Green Forest Department forcibly elected Liu Xuan, the emperor, not to mention whether Liu Xuan is capable of being the emperor, the matter of promoting the emperor alone is enough to bring ruin to his own side.
Facts have proved that the actions of the Green Forest Department did anger Wang Mang and made Wang Mang almost go crazy. An army of more than 400,000 people, swallowing mountains and rivers, is enough to level everything in one walk.
Wang Feng sat there stupidly, while Wang Chang shook his head again and again.
He also did not support his own election of the Son of Heaven now, let alone Liu Xuan as the Son of Heaven, but Wang Kuang, Wang Feng, Chen Mao, Liao Zhan, Zhu Kun and others insisted on going their own way. Now that Wang Mang's counterattack is coming, he has long eyes.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Feng came back to his senses and asked, "Uncle Wen, what ...... Then do our army still want to fight Yingchuan? ”
Liu Xiu was almost angry, beating Yingchuan was strongly requested by Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, and Liu Xuan, who was the emperor, also approved it, but now you still can't go if you don't want to?
Retreating from the army is a capital crime of killing the head!
Wang Feng and others launched Liu Xuan, the emperor, but now they don't have the consciousness of being a minister at all, they should still be in the Green Forest Army, pat their heads, and have a flash of inspiration, they can do whatever they want!
Liu Xiu said: "If Yan You and Chen Mao, as the commanders of the Mang army, it doesn't matter whether we go to fight Yingchuan or not. ”
Even if his 20,000 soldiers and horses withdrew to Nanyang, they would not be able to resist the more than 400,000 troops commanded by Yan You and Chen Mao.
But now it is obvious that Yan You and Chen Mao are not the commanders of the Mang army, and the commanders of the Mang army are Wang Yi and Wang Xun. These two are the masters of no one in their eyes, they are arrogant, but they have an empty stomach, and they don't have much real talent and learning.
The two of them can achieve the position of Da Sikong and Da Sima in the Xinmang Imperial Court, it is very simple, they are Wang Mang's relatives, and Wang Mang is a family.
"If our army fights smoothly in Yingchuan and can win one by one, with the arrogance of Wang Yi and Wang Xun, there is a great chance to introduce the Mang army into Yingchuan!" Liu Xiu Zhengse said.
Wang Feng blinked, then he shuddered again, and subconsciously asked, "If we really introduce the Mang army into Yingchuan, then ...... What about us? ”
Liu Xiu looked at Wang Feng and was silent.
Wang Chang answered: "When the time comes, all we can do is to do our best to hold off the Mang army here in Yingchuan, and buy as much time as possible for Nanyang to make more preparations." ”
"But we only have 20,000 soldiers, and we want to hold back more than 400,000 reckless troops?" Isn't that a joke? In the end, with their 20,000 soldiers, I am afraid that they will not even have bones left. "If we retreat, the Mang army will directly attack Nanyang, and our side will die! If we introduce the Mang army into Yingchuan and delay the Mang army for a month, Nanyang will take the opportunity to recruit troops, and maybe there will be a chance to fight with the Mang army. As for ourselves...... Serve the country by yourself. Wang Chang said in a calm tone.
