Chapter 107: Successful Retirement
The arrival of Huangfu Song and the 20,000 troops gathered back by Li Feng gave Li Chang'an a great encouragement, and it can be known from the relaxed expressions on the faces of the people of Chang'an that it is known that when they learned that Geng Cong's army was defeated and killed, the entire Chang'an fell into panic and depression.
And with the arrival of Huangfu Song, Li Feng also knew that there should be nothing to do with him next, and he still had so much merit, and he could be regarded as a successful retirement, after trading the military power to Huang Fu Song, Li Feng asked Huang Fu Song to resign, and Huang Fu Song also agreed to Li Feng's request, after all, Li Feng's leading name is not right, and he can be in a hurry to follow power in a critical moment, but now that he Huang Fu Song has arrived, he naturally can't do so.
After returning the military power to Huangfu Song, Li Feng was light and light, military power, this is what Li Feng dreamed of, but he didn't do it, with the arrival of Huangfu Song, he couldn't have this kind of opportunity, and now he is still too young, it is too difficult to master the military power at the age of less than fifteen, not to mention Emperor Ling, even the ministers of the court and the central government can't agree.
Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, even if the emperor is favored, Li Feng's performance is against the sky, that age is there, maybe waiting for a year or two, Li Feng can have a chance, now for him, it is still too early, it is precisely because of the recognition of the reality that Li Feng will not care at all to return the military power to Huangfu Song.
After Li Feng handed over the right to transfer troops, Huangfu Song took over Chang'an, and a day later, the rebel army finally came to the city of Chang'an, 70,000 troops lined up with the city, crowded, war horses neighed, the momentum was huge, and it was overwhelming.
"Listen to the guards of the city, your assassination of Shi Geng is dead, 80,000 troops have been destroyed by our army in a blink of an eye, if you know each other, you will surrender, the leader of my family is merciful, do not hurt your life, if not, when our army breaks through the city, it will slaughter everything" A group of soldiers came out of the crowd and shouted under the city.
"Traitor, Huangfu Song is here, if you have the ability, come and take off the old man's head," Huang Fu Song shouted from the city.
"How is that possible?" How could Huangfu Song appear here, even the reinforcements couldn't arrive in Chang'an so quickly," Han Sui, the rebel army, shouted.
"If it weren't for you, I would have already entered Chang'an" For the prestige of Huangfu Song, no one in the world knows, at this time, seeing Huangfu Song appear in Chang'an City, Beigong Boyu was also angry and angry, and said to Han Sui with an unkind face.
"It's my miscalculation, I thought that Huangfu Song was dismissed by Emperor Ling, and the reinforcements on this trip must be someone else, I don't want Emperor Ling to directly reuse Huangfu Song, and he will lead the army to aid Chang'an" Han Sui directly admitted his mistake.
"Hmph~~ It's too late to say anything now" Beigong Boyu saw that Han Sui actually bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and he was obviously very happy in his heart, feeling that he had finally overpowered Han Sui, all along, although he Beigong Boyu was the nominal leader of this coalition army, Han Sui and Bian Zhang had never really seen him as the leader, and they had always wanted to replace him.
"So what's going on now?" Li Wenhou spoke out at the right time, and when he saw Li Wenhou coming out to play a round, Beigong Boyu snorted coldly and looked at Han Sui, although Beigong Boyu was the leader, he was Han Sui who gave advice.
"This is impossible, it is impossible for the Han army reinforcements to arrive in Chang'an so quickly, it may be that Huangfu Song is coming on a light horse," Han Sui said after staring at Chang'an City for a while.
"Chief, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to order a strong attack and explore the reality of Chang'an," Han Sui turned to Beigong Boyu and said.
"Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock" With Han Sui's words, the war drums sounded among the rebels, the rebel battle array under the city operated, and groups of rebels came out, and the condescending Huangfu Song naturally saw the movements of the rebels.
"If you want to explore the reality of our army, the old man will do what you want" Huangfu Song snorted coldly, with the decision of the commanders of both sides, a tragic siege battle began, Han Sui under the city and Huangfu Song on the city kept dispatching troops, and for a time the sound of killing resounded throughout Chang'an.
And Li Feng was standing in his home, looking at the west gate of Chang'an, listening to the shouting and killing sound that resounded through Chang'an, Li Feng originally wanted to go to the city wall, but was rejected by Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song expected that the rebels would test the city defense of Chang'an, and it would inevitably be a big war.
This battle lasted for more than an hour, the casualties on both sides totaled nearly 5,000, the Han army occupied the power of the city, only more than 1,000 casualties, the rest were all rebels, when the rebels Mingjin withdrew their troops, under the city of Chang'an, there were nearly 3,000 corpses, and almost everyone who besieged the city was wounded.
And just when the rebels retreated, the gate of Chang'an suddenly opened, and a cavalry of 3,000 people roared out, rushing straight to the retreating rebels, the rebels did not expect that Huangfu Song still hid so many cavalry, and for a time the rebels were in chaos and fled in all directions, and Beigong Boyu and Han Sui and others were furious.
Reinforcements were hurriedly sent to meet the retreating army, but the Han army did not like to fight, and retreated as soon as it was touched, and by the time the rebel reinforcements arrived, the Han army had already returned to the city.
"Huangfu old thief, I swear to kill you" Beigong Boyu saw that he had suffered such a big loss, and he was angry in his heart, so he scolded Chang'an City regardless of his image.
And the Han army took advantage of this battle to win a big victory, so that the morale of the army and the people in the city was high, and the soldiers who had been defeated with Geng Cong also recovered their morale in this great victory, and at this moment Huangfu Song can be described as a complete victory, not only to hit the morale of the rebels, but also to stabilize the morale of the army and the people of Chang'an City, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.
And after this battle, the rebels will not dare to attack the city at will, Chang'an is worry-free, and when the rebels see the arrival of Luoyang reinforcements in a few days, they are afraid that the rebels have to retreat, "It seems that this is the case, it's time to leave Chang'an" Hearing the loud news of Huangfu Song, Li Feng also made a decision.
So on the second day, Li Feng found Huang Fu Song and said goodbye, and Huang Fu Song seemed to agree very much with Li Feng's travel to the world to increase his knowledge, and on the same night, Li Feng called Ma Teng Huaxiong and Jia Xu to officially bid them farewell, Li Feng originally wanted to invite Jia Xu to travel the world together, but Jia Xu refused, saying that he would return to Wuwei's house after this matter was over, and would wait for Li Feng's news at home.
And Ma Teng Huaxiong, who was pulled up by Li Feng, was even more grateful to Li Feng, and expressed his hope that he could fight side by side with him again in the future, with Li Feng's recommendation, Ma Teng and Hua Xiong both entered the sight of Huangfu Song, Ma Teng now commanded the original Li Feng's 1,000 men and horses, and Hua Xiong also became a captain, leading Li Feng to hand him a thousand cavalry.
On the second day, Huangfu Song ordered the east gate of Chang'an to be opened, and sent his son Huangfu Jianshou to escort Li Feng out of the city.
