Chapter 323: The War in the South

The team went south, with more than 60,000 horses, and along the way, Yue Shaoan continued to send scouts to inquire about the situation ahead, but this was all a disguise, and the efficiency of the scouts was obviously not as high as that of those under Zhuo Yan.

Yue Shao'an has already arranged for Zhuo Yan to slowly turn this group of people into his own people, or raise his fortune to lure them with profits, or gentle strategies to move people with emotion, but there is one thing, that is, this degree must be controlled.

Because Yue Shaoan didn't want the emperor to be jealous of himself, although he felt that there were some aspects of the emperor that people couldn't see through, and he always wanted to leave some back roads and hole cards for himself, but he didn't want the emperor to regard himself as a target of vigilance.

It often takes ten days and a half months for scouts to bring news, but the people on Zhuo Yan's side are much faster, and they can bring back useful information almost every day for Yue Shao'an to make a decision.

Li Jun's men and horses in the south have already started a war with King Liang, Li Jun is very despicable, and he came directly to a surprise attack, although the means are not very open, however, Yue Shao'an thinks that he is doing the right thing, in Yue Shao'an's opinion, since he wants to fight, of course he will fight, do you still have to tell people, I am going to beat you, and then slowly step forward to preach and then do it?

However, Li Jun's approach, Yue Shao'an's approval, does not mean that the people in the DPRK and China also agree. Those sour Confucians folded up in a bunch of songs, and sharply denounced Li Jun's various crimes.

Fortunately, the emperor is not as pedantic as the sour Confucians, what they say is not in harmony with the etiquette, and the attack will inevitably cause civil unrest, etc., the emperor holds a kind of thunder god big rain and small attitude, and loudly reprimanded Li Jun in the court who was far away in the south and could not hear the voice, and in private, let the secret decree let Li Jun fight quickly.

However, Li Jun is a bitter water in the south, thankless, some people in the court scolded him, and he was unable to take the king of Liang for a long time, several battles down, although the people of the king of Liang were trapped in a lonely city by him, but that city is the foundation of the king of Liang, there is a lot of grain, and a long siege is not a way at all, and the court cannot give Li Jun a few years to let him surround without fighting.

Li Jun's men and horses also suffered many casualties, just yesterday's intelligence, Yue Shao'an learned that Li Jun's men and horses still have combat power no more than 20,000, and King Liang's previous claim that there were 60,000 horses is also a bit exaggerated, and most of them are strong men recruited by the people for a short time, and they will be defeated in a battle, and there are only about 10,000 people who really have combat power.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, the number of casualties is still increasing, although the number of King Liang is small, but he can stick to the city, Li Jun's men and horses have suffered relatively large casualties.

Li Jun didn't want to fight such a loss, but the emperor gave an order, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only bite the bullet, but this result, except for accelerating the casualties of the men and horses on both sides, there was not much substantive progress.

However, now Li Jun has no way to retreat, if he can't break through this city and let King Liang capture it, then, his previous efforts are all in vain, the casualties are so large, even if he is not removed from his post when he goes back, he has no soldiers in his hands, and he has no real power, so this time he is bound to win, especially after learning the news of Yue Shao'an's southward departure, he became more and more ruthless. Because he knew that once Yue Shao'an arrived, then he would have nothing to sing!

Yue Shaoan was also in a hurry, he was worried that the city would be destroyed before he arrived, so Zhou Longxuan's situation would be dangerous. As a result, the speed at which the team could travel was once again increased.

In the city to the south, Li Jun's people are still attacking the city, and there is a bloody corpse floating in the moat under the city, and a pungent smell of blood rushes straight up, and the soldiers on both sides are red-eyed, and people continue to climb up to the top of the city, and are smashed down by wood and stones, and at the same time, the people in the city also fall from arrows.

There were several times when the besiegers had rushed to the city, but because of the inability to follow, they were all killed in the city, Li Jun's face was covered with sweat and dust, his face was gray, and he cursed through gritted teeth, but there was no more effective way. The number of casualties among the soldiers was rising, and Li Jun saw that he could not resist the attack, so he had to order the troops to be withdrawn.

In the city, King Liang solemnly gathered his advisers and generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Yue Shao'an's 60,000 horses are about to arrive, and now Li Jun has not been able to repel them, what should they do when they are united?" King Liang asked everyone in a deep voice, hoping that they could come up with some solutions to the problem, but in the face of the current form, no one could put forward any good suggestions, looking at Zhang Muran's expression, King Liang finally couldn't help but be angry, he slammed the table and stood up: "You guys are talking?" In the past, weren't they all quite able to speak? What killed Yue Shao'an and captured Liu Bonan alive, and now there is no one to deal with Li Jun? ”

"Lord ......" After a while, a voice broke the deadly situation, and said softly: "In my opinion, we might as well surrender, anyway, it was Li Jun who started the war first, we just resisted, and there was no incident, and when we got to the emperor, there was still room for maneuver......"

"Hmph......" When King Liang heard this, he laughed angrily, and snorted coldly: "There is no incident? I think you've drunk too much, right? Supporting heavy soldiers, this alone is a capital crime, what else do you need to do? It's all rice buckets, rice buckets—"

King Liang was furious, everyone bowed their heads, and the person who spoke before knelt down and kept kowtowing. For a while, this discussion was like a memorial service, except for those who kowtowed, they were silent, no one spoke, and there was no determination to fight hard, but a face of helplessness and grief.

King Liang sulked for a while, sat back slowly, sighed, and stopped talking.

In the whole room, only the sound of the previous person's head touching the ground was "boom boom ......boom" was terrible, King Liang frowned, stretched out his hand and threw out a tea bowl, and scolded angrily: "Get out-"

"Xie Wang Ye is not guilty, Xie Wang Ye is not guilty...... The man hurriedly stood up, stepped back, retreated to the door, turned around and ran, because he was panicked, but he didn't notice the oncoming woman's figure, and almost bumped into it.

Just as the two were about to collide with each other, the woman suddenly took a step forward with her right foot, and with a retraction of her left foot, she gave way to his body and walked inside in her usual appearance.

The man rubbed his eyes, as if he thought he had been dazzled, and the woman passed in front of him, giving him the illusion that it had passed through his body. However, he didn't have time to study these now, and when he watched the woman walk into the council hall, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and went outside, not daring to stay for a moment, for fear that King Liang would regret it and punish him again.
