On August 15, the second year of Jianning, early in the morning.

"Your Majesty, the emperor of the Han Dynasty held a flashy military parade in Wanling, and then rested in place." A middle-aged general said.

The majesty that this general is talking about is not Liu Hong, but the puppet emperor Xu Zhao, who is called the emperor in the sentence chapter, and is in Yuhang at this time.

Xu Zhao smiled when he heard this, "It's just a yellow-mouthed child, what kind of pro-recruitment is actually playing, it seems that the big man is really exhausted!" ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, it seems that God has let you win the world!"

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

"Your Majesty is the true Son of the Dragon!"

When the generals below heard this, they all echoed.

Xu Zhao waved his hand and said, "Okay, I've been resting here in Yuhang for nearly half a month, how are the recruits of the various departments?" ”

The general who spoke first stood up and said with a hesitant face, "Your Majesty, there are few people in the Huiji, although we occupy the Trinity of Wu County, but Wu County is not a large county, so our and other departments have not been recruited. ”

Xu Zhao didn't get angry when he heard this, after all, the south is sparsely populated, and it is not easy to recruit an army like the north.

It is not easy to gather 50,000 troops and 30,000 troops for the battle, and Xu Zhao is helpless about it.

Immediately, Xu Zhao said: "Step up recruitment!" ”

"Promise" will be agreed in unison.

At this time, a soldier ran in and said, "Your Majesty, I found traces of the Han army thirty miles outside the city. ”

Xu Zhao heard this: "How many soldiers and horses? But the army led by the emperor of the Han Dynasty himself? ”

Before the soldier could answer, a soldier quickly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Han army has arrived outside the city. ”

Xu Zhao was even more shocked when he heard this, and immediately ordered, "Follow me to the city wall to check." ”

"No"

Xu Zhao and a group of generals climbed the city wall to peep, only to see a mile or two outside the city Cao soldiers' heads surging, black pressure and a piece of pressure, I am afraid that there are no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, a red flag fluttering in the wind in the middle of the army, with the word "unequaled" written on it.

"Who can tell me why the Han army suddenly appeared outside this Yuhang City? Just now we said that it had not left Wanling, and then said that it was thirty miles outside the city, and within a few breaths, its troops came to Yuhang, and you told me that the Han army flew over? Xu Zhao asked angrily.

All the generals bowed their heads and were silent, and they couldn't figure out why the Han army was moving so fast, and thirty miles came in an instant.

At this time, in the military office of the Wushuang Army outside the city, Xu Rongzheng looked at Jia Xu with admiration and said, "Sir, this plan is very clever!" Presumably, at this time, the anti-thief Xu Zhao was thinking about how a certain Wushuang army appeared from thirty miles away in an instant! ”

"Hehe, a little trick, which made the general smile." Jia Xu smiled modestly.

Xu Rong smiled and said, "Mr. Wenhe is too modest, this trick can make Mr. so superb, it's really amazing!" ”

Jia Xu and Xu Rong talked and laughed, but Xu Zhao in Yuhang City was uncomfortable.

Just now, he was angry for a while, and he said how the Han army appeared under the city from thirty miles away, and at this time, the rebels on the city wall were talking about it.

Xu Zhao saw that the army's heart was unstable because of his gaffe, and he immediately said angrily, "Who is going to defeat him?" He must have come from afar to be exhausted. Who wants to do this? ”

All the generals, you look at me, I look at you, but no one is out of the ranks.

After all, the Wushuang Army is an army with horses and feet, and the five thousand Wushuang cavalry outside the city are sharpening their swords.

That's why these generals, who are more desperate than the other, suddenly kept silent.

However, this scene deepened the fear of the rebels against the Han army, and they didn't dare to fight if they didn't see the generals!

Half an hour later, Xu Zhao saw that the Han army was still stationed in the same place and had not fought before. I couldn't help but wonder to myself.

The anti-army soldiers on the city wall were a little less afraid, after all, Xu Rong did not strike while the iron was hot, and relied on his momentum to attack the city in one fell swoop, giving the anti-army a chance to breathe.

But my own business, my own know.

The Han army came from afar, and it was not easy to avoid Xu Zhao's ears and eyes and quietly come to Yuhang City, where would there be the strength to fight again.

Xu Rong looked at the man in the city in a gown, and said to Jia Xu, "Mr. Wenhe, that's Xu Zhao, right?" ”

Jia Xu fixed his eyes, and then said, "It should be true." ”

"Then Mr. Wenhe, can we wait here to do anything?"

Jia Xu smiled lightly, "The general has forgotten, I am waiting for Your Majesty and the catapult!" But it's not good to be so dry. It is better for the general to order the troops to rest in place and recover their strength. The cavalry was ordered to be on guard. ”

Xu Rong thought for a while and said, "It is worthy of Mr. Wenhe, in this way, if the rebels do not attack, we can recover our strength." When the rebels attack, relying on the advantage of the cavalry, we can also leave behind the enemy who is coming. ”

Immediately, Xu Rong ordered, "The cavalry should be on strict guard, and the foot soldiers should rest in place and maintain the formation." ”

"No"

So the Han army sat on the ground and chatted under the surprised eyes of Xu Zhao, a group of anti-generals and the anti-army in the city.

"W-what's going on?" A general asked in surprise.

At this time, a general said, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the Han army must have come from afar, and his physical strength is exhausted, so the last general asks His Majesty to give an order, and the last general will lead his troops and horses out of the city to break the Han army." ”

"No," Xu Zhao, who wanted to fight before, frowned and said, "Even if the Han army is physically exhausted, it will not be like this after half an hour, and you love Qing and look, the Han cavalry has never dismounted, presumably this matter is a trap of the Han army." ”

As soon as Xu Zhao finished speaking, a general said, "Your Majesty is right, and we only have 30,000 troops, and we do not have an advantage in numbers. If we wait to attack, I am afraid that we will be left outside the city by the Han army. ”

"This ......"

The anti-generals were silent when they heard this.

At the same time, various families in Yuhang County received a letter one after another.

There are many marriages in Yangzhou families, if a family commits the crime of punishing the nine clans, I am afraid that most of the Yangzhou families will suffer.

Therefore, after seeing the military parade carefully prepared by Liu Hong, when he returned home, these families invariably wrote letters to their families in the area occupied by Xu Zhao.

The content of the letter is roughly the same, all of them are what the emperor is the wise lord, and the army led by him is an elite division, and the soldiers of non-state counties are comparable. And His Majesty has an army of 100,000, and the thief Xu Zhao only has 50,000, and most of them are new soldiers, even if it is to defend the city, it is difficult. Think twice about doing things.

And the family who received the letter, although they did not say anything, but in the bottom of their hearts, there was a slight change.

As long as the Han army can win a battle, these families will be able to turn against each other, although the family at this time does not have a large number of private soldiers, but it is still easy to talk among the people.

After all, the administrative institutions below the county level of the Eastern Han Dynasty are all controlled by the relatives of some families.

Therefore, with the help of Liu Hong's reputation as emperor, the family was able to launch a rebellion, which was still successful.
