Chapter 503: Rescuing the Giant Deer

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu divided his troops into four parts. Jia Fu commanded 50,000 soldiers and went to Zhending to pacify the five school troops who were in rebellion in Zhending.

Deng Yu commanded the most elite 20,000 elite soldiers and advanced westward, entering Hedong from Hanoi. Kou Sui commanded 20,000 soldiers and stayed in Hanoi, not only to resist the thief army in Hanoi, but also to guard against Zhu Kun and Li Yi stationed in Luoyang to send troops to Hanoi.

As for Liu Xiu himself, he personally commanded the rest of the soldiers and horses, returned to Jizhou, went to Julu County, and pacified the Bronze Horse Army that was in rebellion in Julu.

Now there are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Liu Xiu, but among these 50,000 people, there are more than 10,000 Youzhou cavalry, and these Youzhou cavalry are also Liu Xiu's biggest reliance on suppressing the bronze horse army.

To make a long story short, Liu Xiu led his army out of Huaicheng and headed north into Wei County, and soon the army arrived at Yecheng, the county capital of Wei County.

Wu Han, Chen Kang and other officials went out of the city to greet them. Seeing Liu Xiu, Wu Han stepped forward quickly, intervened to give a salute, and said in a loud voice: "The last general will meet the king!" ”

Liu Xiu got out of the carriage, walked to Wu Han with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Ziyan is exempt from courtesy." ”

"King Xie!"

Liu Xiu praised with a smile: "Ziyan is in Yecheng, punishing adultery and eliminating evil, punishing disloyalty, and killing incompetent, but he has made a great contribution!" ”

At the beginning, Wu Han killed Miao Zeng and returned from Youzhou with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the credit was so great that no one could match it, but Liu Xiu didn't even dare to boast, and he didn't say a word about Wu Han's killing of Miao Zeng.

And now, Liu Xiu is praising Wu Han in public for killing Xie Bow, which can also see Liu Xiu's change in mentality. In the past, he was hiding and did not dare to show the attitude of tearing his face with Liu Xuan, and regarded Wu Han's killing of Miao Zeng as his private act, but now with his capture of Hanoi, Liu Xuan was restrained by the Red Eyebrow Army, and he no longer had any worries about this

Wu Han grinned, laughed hesitantly, and said: "It all depends on the king's strategy to win a thousand miles, and the general will only do the king's life, and he will not dare to take credit." ”

"Haha!" Liu Xiu laughed and patted Wu Han's arm.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was in a good mood, Chen Kang lost no time in stepping forward, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and said, "Xiaguan Chen Kang, meet the king!" ”

Liu Xiu's eyes turned and fell on Chen Kang. After a while, he waved his hand and said softly, "Chen Taishou, please get up!" "King Xie!" Chen Kang stood up and said cautiously: "Before, it was the lower officials who were confused, and they actually believed Xie Gong's nonsense!" Since General Wu came to Yecheng and reprimanded the lower officials, he made the lower officials feel empowered, and from now on, the lower officials

I am willing to look forward to the king's horse and serve the king's dogs and horses! ”

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Wu Han again.

Wu Han said to Liu Xiu: "King, kill Xie Bow, Chen Taishou also contributed, during this time, Chen Taishou also actively prepared grain and grass and transported it to Hanoi to ensure the sufficiency of our army's supplies." ”

Call! Chen Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, these days, it is not in vain that he has been doubling his favor with Wu Han, in front of King Xiao, Wu Han helped himself to say a word, and he said a thousand words on top of his own.

Really. After listening to Wu Han's words, Liu Xiu's eyes softened a lot when he looked at Chen Kang, nodded, and said, "These days, Chen Taishou has worked hard. ”

Chen Kang's body was shocked, he knelt down again, kowtowed forward, and said: "To do things for the king, Weichen doesn't feel hard, even if his liver and brain are smeared, he will not give up!" ”

If you want to please people, Chen Kang is indeed very powerful, and in front of Liu Xiu's self-proclaim, he didn't say that he was a lower official, but instead used Weichen.

Liu Xiu smiled and was noncommittal about Chen Kang's self-proclaim. Wu Han turned sideways, waved his hand and said, "King, please in the city." ”

Chen Kang followed behind Liu Xiu and said with a smile on his face: "Xiaguan has already prepared a wine banquet in the county government, and in addition, Xiaguan has sent someone to prepare wine and meat, which can reward the soldiers of the three armies!" ”

Liu Xiu praised it, and was very satisfied with Chen Kang's thoughtful work.

On the way to the county guard's mansion, Wu Han came to Liu Xiu's side and whispered mysteriously: "King, there will be something in the end, please ask for the king's permission!" ”

Liu Xiule looked at Wu Han and asked, "What's the matter with Ziyan?" ”

Wu Han cleared his throat and said, "King, Xie Gong has been ambushed, can Xie Gong's wife stay?" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Wu Han inexplicably, this kind of thing, Wu Han can handle it himself, so why bother to ask himself? After thinking about it, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked, and she asked with a smile: "Ziyan can't be in love with Mrs. Xie, right?" ”

Wu Han's old face flushed, scratched his head, and laughed dryly twice, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Liu Xiu is not a person who is easy to kill, on the contrary, he will choose not to kill those who can not be killed.

Now that Xie Gong is dead, there is no need to kill Xie Gong's family and even his clansmen. However, Wu Han was able to take a fancy to Mrs. Xie Gong, which surprised him.

He had met Qin Ziwen before, and he had the impression that she was a very beautiful woman, and he had no other special impressions.

He said: "Ziyan, as far as I know, Mrs. Xie and Xie Gong have a very good relationship, now that you kill Xie Gong, can Mrs. Xie not resent you?" ”

Wu Han Zhengse said: "Don't worry, the king is confident, the last general has the confidence to tame this woman!" "The concept of chastity in the Han Dynasty is not as strong as that of later generations, although there is a concept of one woman and two husbands, although there are also them, but they do not deliberately force them, and the husband can and can enjoy the wife's right to the first night, or whether the wife is a virgin, for the husband, too

It's not that important, as long as the two are happy. The folk customs of the Han Dynasty are somewhat similar to those of modern times.

Therefore, whether Qin Ziwen is a wife or not is not a problem for Wu Han. The key is that Qin Ziwen used to be Xie Gong's wife, which is a big problem, if he wants to marry Qin Ziwen, he must get the permission of the king.

Liu Xiu glanced at Wu Han, who was full of confidence, smiled, and said, "As long as Ziyan likes it, then do it, I don't object!" ”

Wu Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you, King!" ”

Liu Xiu asked curiously, "Mrs. Xie can really make Ziyan fall in love at first sight?" ”

Wu Han coughed dryly and said, "She is a strange woman!" ”

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders, he didn't see where Qin Ziwen was, in his eyes, Qin Ziwen was no different from other women. The feeling between people is wonderful, some people are naturally attracted, and some people are naturally repulsed.

Passing by Yecheng this time, Liu Xiu did not drastically change officials to the county government of Yecheng.

Liu Xiu didn't like Chen Kang's personality, but he also affirmed Chen Kang's ability, and for now, Chen Kang can continue to be retained.

After resting in Yecheng for one night, early the next morning, Liu Xiu led his soldiers and horses and continued to go north, first to Guangping, and then through Guangping to the north, into Julu.

Wucheng, located in the territory of Julu County, northeast of Zhangshui, at present, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Bronze Horse Army are gathering near Wucheng, and there is a great momentum to take Wucheng and cross the posture of Zhangshui.

Just when the city was in danger, Liu Xiu led the army and arrived in the city.

Liu Xiu's side has only 60,000 soldiers and horses, while the bronze horse army is hundreds of thousands, it seems that the strength of the two sides seems to be very different, but in fact it is not.

Among the hundreds of thousands of Bronze Horse Army, there must be more than 100,000 dependents, and most of these more than 100,000 people are old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children.

Even if it is a combatable army, the Bronze Horse Army is very loosely managed, and there is still a big gap compared with the regular army.

Although there are many bronze horse soldiers, the soldiers of the Han army who have fought with the Qingli army and the Youlai army are not afraid, and all the generals in the army have asked Liu Xiu to fight.

Hundreds of thousands of bronze horse troops did not gather together, but scattered around the city.

Liu Xiu also wanted to test the combat power of the Bronze Horse Army, so he immediately sent Geng Yi, Ma Wu, and Cen Peng to lead a small group of soldiers and horses to attack the three strongholds of the Bronze Horse Army. As a result, the soldiers and horses of the three routes returned in vain. The management of the Bronze Horse Army is very loose, and the weapons and equipment are also very backward, but the Bronze Horse Army is very brave in battle, and does not pay attention to any formation at all

rushed forward to kill, and in the skirmish, the Han army could not take advantage at all.

Although Geng Yi, Ma Wu, and Cen Peng failed to win, Liu Xiu became more confident in the next decisive battle between the two sides.

The Bronze Horse Army does not pay attention to formations and is good at individual combat, which is taboo in clan warfare.

In a large-scale phalanx battle with more than tens of thousands of people, the strength of one person is too small, just a drop in the ocean, and only by integrating all the soldiers together to form a whole can the most powerful combat effectiveness burst out.

And this is exactly what the Bronze Horse Army is not good at, so no matter how many troops the Bronze Horse Army has, no matter how strong the ability to fight alone, there is no need to worry.

Liu Xiu no longer sent a small force to harass the Bronze Horse Army, but gathered a large army and took the initiative to seek battle.

The Bronze Horse Army, which was outnumbered, of course, did not take Liu Xiu's tens of thousands of people into account, and pulled out a large army, wanting to start a head-on decisive battle with Liu Xiujun.

On the plain on the north bank of Zhangshui in Julu County. 60,000 Liu Xiujun and more than 200,000 bronze horse troops, each set up a battle formation, opened a posture, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.

On the side of the Han army, although the troops are small, the army is neat, and the square formations are arranged neatly and neatly, and the soldiers are bright and bright, and the momentum is like a rainbow. People just stood there, and there was a strong aura of slaughter.

The Bronze Horse Army on the opposite side is called a huge scale and a sea of people, but there is no formation at all, and people are standing together scattered. The lineups of the two sides are in stark contrast, one small and one large, and they are all messy. The leader of the Bronze Horse Army, Dongshan Barren, stood on a high slope, looking at the Han army opposite, the corners of his mouth were hooked, showing a contemptuous smile, and said proudly: "Liu Xiu is not self-sufficient, he only leads tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he wants to fight with my hundreds of thousands of troops, really."

It's self-defeating! ”

Shanghuai's situation was much calmer than that of Dongshan Barren, and he frowned and said, "The general can't underestimate Liu Xiujun's combat power!" In Hanoi, Liu Xiujun defeated the Qingcalf army and scared away You Lai's army. "Humph!" Dongshan barren laughed out loud and said: "Qingcal, You Lai, just a rabble, a group of crab soldiers and crab generals, how can they be compared with my bronze horse army?" Liu Xiu can win Qingcalf and You Lai, but if he wants to defeat my Bronze Horse Army, he is a fool's dream

! ”

Dongshan is barren and arrogant, and the generals he waved are not far behind. People chimed in: "What the general said is extremely true! "Liu Xiu once sent troops to attack and harass our department, but they were all defeated by our department, and Liu Xiujun's combat power is no more than Er'er!"

Hearing that everyone despised Liu Xiu for every word, Shanghuai's brows furrowed even tighter, and his heart became more and more bottomless. He reminded with a solemn expression: "Everyone, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, don't be careless!" "The relationship between the barren Dongshan and the Shanghuai situation is the same as the relationship between Wang Kuang and Wang Feng. The two were the first to raise the banner of the Bronze Horse, laying the foundation of the Bronze Horse Army, and through joint efforts, the Bronze Horse Army, which was only a few hundred people, was strong

It is now hundreds of thousands of people. The two are both brothers and closest comrades-in-arms. For the situation of Shanghuai, Dongshan is still very respectful. Hearing the reminder of Shanghuai's situation, Dongshan Barren nodded, and said in a deep voice to the surrounding generals: "General Shanghuai's words, have you all heard clearly?" ”
