At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the battle was called' In the battle for Tangyin, the soldiers of Shangguan Yin Feng's Cheng Dynasty were killed in the battle, more than 113,000 were wounded, and only 20,000 soldiers were unscathed, which can be described as heavy casualties; however, Li Yanqing was not having a good time, and it took five days to clean up the battlefield, and it was calculated that Zhang Dong was killed on Li Yanqing's side, and about 80,000 soldiers were killed in the battle of Zhang Dong's faction, and nearly 40,000 cavalry from Liaobei were killed, more than 10,000 people were captured, and more than 30,000 horses were killed．．．

Due to the brutality of the battle, there were no clashes between the two sides for nearly a month, except for sporadic fighting among the scout troops, which can be described as peaceful...

On the third day of the tenth month of the fourth year of Tianzhu, that is, a month later, Shangguan Yin Feng mobilized 50,000 reinforcements from Luoyang rushed to Tangyin one after another, plus the men and horses in Tangyin City, a total of 160,000 people, enough to besiege Anyang again...

In addition, an important reason that can prompt Shangguan Yin Feng to continue fighting is the grain, grass, baggage and other things in his rear, because of the Changsha Kingdom and Sichuan, the land of Tianfu, the grain production in the two places is quite abundant, and the soldiers' food is not generally good, and the former skinny soldiers now want to see Shangguan Yin Feng's army again, it is very difficult, as if he gave his own order: "Eat hard, as long as you are the king's soldier, every meal is full..."

And Li Yanqing in Anyang is not having a good time, due to years of conquest, Yuan Jingchu's rear foundation has long begun to decline, although there have been a lot of victories, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers consume a large amount of food a day, and it has to include the grain and grass used in war horses, so now Yuan Jingchu has to order to step up the offensive, in order to take the Central Plains, a rich place, in the shortest possible time...

Tangyin County Guard commanded the Yamen

"Lord Wang, the Han army has all withdrawn to Xinxiang, and a few days ago, under your urging, only less than 10,000 troops were dispatched, and they went down to the village forty miles north of our city, and there was no appearance of attacking Anyang with us..."

"Lord Wang, the people they urged the grain and grass are here again..."Before Jia Fu's words were finished, Huang Wei hurriedly walked into the yamen lobby: "The official who came this time seems to be quite big, and he is waiting outside the yamen..."

Shangguan Yin Feng sat up and looked at Huang Wei and said, "Let him come in..."

Under the guidance of Huang Wei, a middle-aged man wearing a Han Dynasty civil official uniform walked in, and after entering the lobby, he arched his hand towards Shangguan Yin Feng and said, "Meet the King of Changsha..."

"Let's make a self-report..."Shangguan Yin Feng supported his body with his hands, looking at the visitor very interestingly...

"King of Changsha, under Chen Huan, the official residence of the Han Dynasty Imperial History..."Chen Huan said proudly to the official Yin Feng...

"Oh, Chen Changshi, why did you come to my Tangyin?" Shangguan Yin Feng saw Chen Huan's appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart, a small imperial history is just a long history, not even as good as Shang Shuling, and he actually put such a big official shelf in front of him...

"At this point, I will say bluntly, why is the food promised to our army by the king of Changsha delayed, doesn't the king of Changsha know that hungry soldiers cannot fight?" Chen Huan's words were full of reproach...

"Presumptuous..."Huang Wei scolded Chen Huan: "Your Han army only knows how to retreat, when our army fought bloodily with the enemy outside Tangyin City, Kou Sui actually led 100,000 troops to retreat all the way, and said that the allies, you don't even have the strength, and you are embarrassed to keep urging us for grain and grass..."

"Huang Wei..."Shangguan Yin Feng achieved the purpose of complaining to Liu Xuan, so he stopped Huang Wei's words, and then looked at Chen Huan, and said in a straight voice: "Chen Changshi, you go back first, the king of food will send it to you within ten days, and now our army is preparing for a decisive battle with Li Yanqing, so the food is not distributed to the brothers of the Han army for the time being, and I also ask Chen Changshi to tell your emperor after he goes back, and this king is also in love..."

Chen He came to Tangyin less than two hours ago, and was blasted out, although he didn't get courtesy, but at least he got Shangguan Yin Feng's reply, which can be regarded as a gain...

"Lord Wang, the Han army is really cunning, 200,000 people want us to feed us, but when we fight, we are turtles with shrunken heads, it's too much, why would the prince agree to their request..."

"Don't worry..."Shangguan Yin Feng shook his hand with a smile: "The king of grain didn't say no, ten days later, transport some of those defective grain and grass to Kou Sui's army, and by the way, bring him a sentence, 'As much ability as you have, you can do as much as you want, and if you have as much strength, you will give as much food as you want'..."

"The prince is wise..."

Anyang, Li Yanqing camp

"General, there is a distinguished guest here..."The general walked into the big tent and said in a deep voice to Li Yanqing, who was watching the military situation...

"General Zhengnan..."The person who came was a middle-aged man with a national character face, wearing a blue-black armor, long shoulders and a round waist, surnamed Yuan, named Shihu, the second son of Yuan Jingchu, and the king of Gaoyang: "Pingxiang Hou, don't come to be harmed..."Yuan Shihu strode into the big tent and looked at Li Yanqing with a little contempt...

Li Yanqing saw that it was Yuan Shihu, so he hurriedly stepped down from the main seat, and saluted Yuan Shihu respectfully: "Humble Li Yanqing, see the prince..."

Even though Li Yanqing's military merits are very high and he was made a marquis, in front of Yuan Shihu, the prince of the Great Yan Empire, he was like an ant, and Yuan Shihu naturally didn't take Li Yanqing in his eyes: "Li Yanqing, you have been in Anyang for so long, you can't even beat a small Tangyin county?" Yuan Shihu walked around the big tent, and after stopping on the main seat, he looked at Li Yanqing suspiciously, and asked with irony...

Li Yanqing is a small person who slowly climbs from the bottom, he is a typical example of a poor peasant turned into a rich people, but his loyalty to Yuan Jingchu is a good thing, naturally he is in awe of this second son, maybe after Yuan Jingchu's death, it is he Yuan Shihu ascended the throne: "Humble duty is guilty, Cheng Dynasty led the army this time is the regent prince Shangguan Yin Feng, this person's talent is above the humble position, although the humble position fought a victory in Anyang, but the battle of Tangyin, also made our army suffer heavy casualties, and the grain and grass are not good, so the humble post had to order the first reorganization of the army, in preparation for a later battle..."

The first battle of Anyang was lost by Shangguan Yin Feng, but the battle of Tangyin in the second battle was lost by Li Yanqing himself, so the two sides reluctantly fought a draw with Li Yanqing in the first confrontation, and now Li Yanqing said this to Yuan Shihu, also so that he would not be questioned too much by Yuan Shihu, he knew the temper of this prince, except for his bravery, there was no other use...

"Pingxiang Hou, you wiped out the 600,000 main forces of the Cheng Dynasty in the first battle of Yanshan, and the king also knew one or two in the previous battle of Anyang, the prince is so powerful, why did he delay here for so long? Do you know that there are more than 100,000 enemy troops in Jingcheng Pass, and the land of Hebei is now being attacked from several sides, and the prince is still asking for food and reinforcements in the rear, do you know that there are already people in the court who have accused you of Li Yanqing's intention to rebel like his father..."After Yuan Shihu sat down on the main seat, he looked at Li Yanqing in the tent with sharp eyes...

"A bunch of nonsense..."After Li Yanqing screamed when he heard this, he knelt down towards Yuan Shihu: "Lord Wang, you are wronged... The humble position has always been loyal to the Great Yan Kingdom, and this battle in Anyang is obvious to all in the world, why did the humble position do such a dirty thing, and please ask the prince to see it..."

"Many ministers in the court reported to their fathers, saying that you Pingxiang Marquis Li Yanqing colluded with Shangguan Yin Feng to deliberately consume the strength of our army in Anyang and delay the offensive of our army in Liaodong, originally my father did not believe it, although you won the battle of Anyang, but the battle of Tangyin Zhang Dong was annihilated, this king heard that when Zhang Dong led the army to kill, you Li Yanqing immediately watched from a distance, and after Zhang Dong was killed, he ordered to charge, this king asked you, why did you choose to do so while your troops defeated Shangguan Yin Feng? Before the war, you talked to Shangguan Yin Feng in front of the battle, what did you say? ”

As soon as Yuan Shihu's voice fell, Li Yanqing knew that he had been calculated, raised his head and looked at Yuan Shihu, with a sad and indignant face: "Prince, the humble position is wronged, before the battle, Shangguan Yin Feng said that he wanted to capture the humble post alive to avenge the revenge of Yanshan, the humble post did not collude with Shangguan Yin Feng, and asked the prince to investigate, before the battle, Zhang Dong wanted to avenge his father, and the humble post dissuaded, but he didn't listen, and the humble post was worried that Shangguan Yin Feng had a conspiracy and tricks, so he didn't dare to let the cavalry impact, the elite of our army was in my hands, and the humble post did not dare to act rashly, just like the prince said, Shangguan Yin Fengming knew that the military strength was not as good as our army, and he also had to start a battle with our army, and his reinforcements came later, which was in response to the conjecture of his humble position, so he suffered this defeat, and asked the prince to investigate..."

Li Yanqing told the whole story, and before he was still wondering who the distinguished guest that the general was talking about, but now he understands that this 'distinguished guest' is here to ask the master for sin, and if he doesn't handle it well today, he will have to worry about his life...
