Gu Li laughed and said: "He must be frightened, and he will definitely order Sun Yu and other elite iron horsemen to come to the rescue overnight." ”

"It's just a pity, by the time they arrived, we would have already captured the imperial capital."

Hearing this, Gao Quan suddenly stopped and ordered the army to stop.

His brow furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Even you know Wang Xu's marching strategy, do you think Wang Xu will really do this?"

Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "This is his only coping strategy, what else will he do?" ”

Gao Quan was silent, is it really as Gu Li said, will he rush to the imperial capital?

"If I were Wang Xu... I will, it's too bad, Nandu, he will definitely attack my Nandu, so as to force me to evacuate! ”

Gao Quan was suddenly shocked: "After the loss of Qingyuan County, the southern capital will be completely exposed to the enemy, and the iron cavalry will be conquered in a few days!" ”

Gu Li hurriedly said: "Then what are we waiting for, return to the army quickly, there are only 70,000 defenders in the southern capital, if we encounter a large number of soldiers and horses of the Holy Dynasty, it will be difficult to hold, and the difficulty will be lost, even if we capture the imperial capital, it will be worth the loss." ”

"No, no, wait, maybe Wang Xu won't use troops like this." Gao Quan thought for a while, waved his hand and said.

"But we have to guard against it, what if Wang Xu really goes to Nanjun?" Coulee Road.

Gao Quan nodded, Gu Li's words were not unreasonable.

"Gu Li, I will give you 50,000 iron horses, immediately return to the southern capital, and tell Your Majesty that there is no need to panic, Weichen has his own plan."

Fifty thousand?

Gu Li hesitated: "Prime Minister, isn't this 50,000 a bit less?" ”

Gu Li also knows that Wang Xu now has an army of 500,000 in his hands, and if he goes back and encounters it, whether it is a field battle or an infantry battle, he will not have an advantage, then he is not looking for death.

"Prime Minister, in fact, it is not practical to attack the imperial capital with so many people, it is enough to go to 300,000, and I will bring 200,000 troops back to the southern capital. Luckily? ”

Gao Quan's eyes froze: "What do you know?" ”

"Do you think that this 500,000 army is just for attacking the imperial capital?"

Gu Li said: "What other effects does that have?" ”

"Of course." Gao Quan said: "The Northern Army definitely wants to get the imperial capital, so after capturing the imperial capital, we will definitely fight with Cai Wenzhuo." Naturally, the more soldiers I brought with me, the better, and if the major generals were weak, they would definitely suffer. ”

"The last general moves, and the last general will bring 50,000 iron horsemen back to the southern capital."

Cai Wenzhuo waved his hand: "Go, report anything immediately." ”

"No."

..............

Wang Xu has already captured the royal city of Qingyuan County. Li Zhong was caught by Zhang Meng and killed on the spot, Li Yun rebelled and surrendered, and the rest of the generals were all Xiang, and the royal city of Qingyuan County was under Wang Xu's rule from then on.

In the past few days, Wang Xu has no sign of moving troops, and more than 300,000 troops are all stationed here.

"Your Majesty, all the seventy-three counties of Qingyuan County have surrendered, and we will be able to occupy Qingyuan in a few days."

In the lobby, all the generals were there, and Han Shushu said.

Wang Xu is not interested in these. He was holding the map in his hand at the moment, studying it carefully.

"I don't know where the army of Zheng Li, Qiancang and others has gone, it's very worrying."

Han Shushu said: "As early as five days ago, they went to the southern capital and the northern capital respectively, the northern capital is too far away, and now they must have returned to the ancient western realm, but Zheng Li and Fukangan's army must have arrived in the southern capital." ”

Zheng Feng had 80,000 elite siege troops, while Fukangan had 50,000 elite heavy armored cavalry. The two of them attacked an army of 130,000; From the royal city of Qingyuan County to the southern capital, there are thousands of miles away, and if you march a hundred miles a day, it will take ten days. It's only been five days now, and it's definitely not there yet, but it must have been discovered by Hu Ling to be true.

As for Qiancang, Qiancang had 50,000 turnstile training formation soldiers under his command, and 50,000 light cavalry under Sun Yu's subordinates, who were led by a capable general under Sun Yu's account. A total of 100,000 people.

Therefore, Wang Xu is now in Qingyuan County, only 270,000, plus the prisoners, there are more than 300,000.

"I want to go back to the imperial capital."

Sun Yu came out and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to go in person, just let me lead the army to go, I will definitely be able to solve the siege of the imperial capital, and the end will be there day and night, and you can arrive in five days!" ”

Wang Xu didn't reply, looked at the map, and sighed: "It's just a pity that the imperial capital city is too important to lose, otherwise, I really want to immediately lead the army to take Nanjun directly, so that Hu Guo is surprised!" ”

Han Shushu smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't have to go in person, there are not many troops in Nandu, if it goes well, Zheng Li and Fukangan can attack it." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Calligraphy and Painting, you think it's too good." Wang Xu said: "Hu Ling has occupied the southern capital for many years, how can it be so easy to capture, and letting Zheng Li and Fukangan go is just to force Gao Quan to withdraw his troops." ”

"At this moment, I'm worried, what if Gao Quan ignores the emperor's orders and resolutely attacks the imperial capital?"

Sun Yu said: "Your Majesty, the last general will bring the troops back to the imperial capital, I arrived a moment early, if the high power is not withdrawn, I have 150,000 light cavalry in my hands, and he will not dare to attack the city again." ”

"If he attacks a city, I will attack him, and he will have to defend against it."

Han Shushu said: "General Sun is reasonable, Your Majesty will give the order." ”

Wang Xu nodded: "Okay, I can rest assured that you go, and you will lead the army back to the imperial capital." ”

"No."

Next, Sun Yu left in a hurry.

He didn't dare to delay, took the soldiers, hurried out of the city, marched to the imperial capital, he didn't dare to hesitate, in the next few days, they were all day and night, until they arrived at the destination of the imperial capital, he ordered to camp and rest.

Of course, that's all for later, at this moment in Wangcheng, Qingyuan County, Wang Xu still has Zheng Feng's 80,000 siege troops left, as well as 10,000 Yulin troops.

In order to stabilize the situation in Qingyuan County, Wang Xu decided not to leave here for the time being, stay and deal with political affairs, and strive to fully occupy Qingyuan County in the shortest possible time, especially those big families, they must be completely conquered, and those decrees of the Holy Dynasty must also be issued quickly.

"Why hasn't General Sun's army come yet?"

On the walls of the imperial capital, Huang Quan said worriedly.

At this moment, Cai Wenzhuo has not stopped attacking the city, his soldiers have been attacking for more than ten hours in a row, this is the second day, I don't know how many dead and wounded, but the corpses under the city have piled up.

Every time there were too many corpses piled up, Huang Quan would order boiling oil to be poured and rockets fired, so that all the corpses would be incinerated, and it would be a real double win to prevent the enemy from attacking the city.

Whenever the morale of the troops besieging the city was low, Cai Wenzhuo would replace the 15,000 soldiers and let other soldiers go up, so that the morale could continue to persist so far.

On the city wall, Miansheng was also a little anxious, his subordinates had a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses of Shuntianfu, and more than 10,000 had died at the moment, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers defending the city.

If Sun Yu's reinforcements don't come again, I'm afraid they will have to use the Yulin Army to defend the city.

"General, there are people in the city who want to see you."

Suddenly, a soldier ran up at a brisk pace. (To be continued.) )
