"Let the emperor and the queen mother be humiliated, this is all the fault of the ministers, it is the incompetence of the ministers!" The ministers blamed themselves one after another, and the sound of shaking their heads with remorse spread throughout Hualin Garden.

Hua'an was full of ambition, seeing that all the ministers were crying, he couldn't help but feel contempt, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty didn't think about how to govern the country and the country, but they sighed here for a long time, can they cry the enemy to death.

Seeing that all the ministers were depressed, Empress Dowager Yu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she looked at Director Wang in the crowd, and said softly: "Lord Wang, please leave the affairs of the capital to Aiqing for the time being, and the mourning family will go back to the palace to see the emperor." ”

After the Empress Dowager Yu finished speaking, she turned around and left lonely.

With the Empress Dowager's decree, Director Wang can be said to be a veritable supreme commander in the capital, he cleared his throat and ordered: "Come on, drag the traitor Ren Rang out and cut it down." ”

"Yes, sir." Hearing the order, the two soldiers dragged the dying Ren Rang out.

"General Han Qian, the rebel prisoners are all handed over to the general for full disposal."

"Yes, my lord, I will do it in the end." After Han Qian finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Wang Dao said again: "General Han is slow, Su Jun's rebels may return to the capital at any time, and from now on, all the defense of the capital will be under the full responsibility of General Han." ”

"The last will obey." Han Qian turned around and clasped his fists, then turned around and ordered: "Captain Zhao, you lead three hundred soldiers to guard the palace, and you must ensure the emperor's safety." Lieutenant Li, you will lead 300 soldiers to inspect the security of the capital, and those who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos will be killed. ”

"Yes, General." The two lieutenants responded with their fists clenched.

"Qin Teamzheng, the prisoners will be handed over to you, those who are willing to go home will be let go home, and all those who are willing to join our army will be incorporated into the new barracks."

"Yes, General." Team Qin replied loudly.

"Chen Xiong, you and a few lieutenants will lead the remaining soldiers to patrol the city defense with me."

Chen Xiong hugged his fists with several lieutenants and said, "Yes, general." ”

After Han Qian finished the order, he turned around and waved his fist at Wang Dao, and said, "Lord Situ, the last general will go and arrange the city defense." After speaking, he turned around and strode away, and Chen Xiong and the others followed closely behind.

"Master, I'm going too." The sword that Hua An threw in his hand trotted behind Han Qian.

Han Qian frowned and said, "No, you're tired for a day, go back and have a good rest!" You can't help with the city defenses. ”

"Yes! Hussar general, it is enough for us to arrange the city defense, so the general should go back and rest! Hahaha. Chen Xiong quipped.

"Hahaha, Hussar General." The soldiers behind Chen Xiong also followed suit.

"Hmph, don't let go, just don't go.!" Hua An glared at Chen Xiong with his hands on his hips, turned around angrily and parted ways with Chen Xiong and the others.

Hua'an left the palace naturally to return to Situ Mansion to visit his mother, and then play with Wang Ling and Chu Garlic, during which Hua'an naturally would not forget to show off his merits.

The hussar general just said it casually when the little emperor Sima Yan was hot-headed, but Hua An added fuel and vinegar to say this matter as if it were true, and the two naïve little women believed it to be true and cast a fiery and adoring gaze at Hua An, which made Hua An happy for several days fluttering.

In the past few days, Han Qian and Chen Xiong have been busy arranging city defense and reorganizing the army, and under their reorganization, the capital soon established an army of 10,000 people.

Chen Xiong's original 1,200 elite soldiers were reorganized into one battalion with 1,000 men, and the remaining 200 men were divided into two battalions, each battalion was supplemented by 900 recruits, and the 3,000 people from each prefecture in the capital were reorganized into three battalions, and the officers were selected from among them.

The remaining 4,000 newly recruited recruits were reorganized into four battalions, and at this time, more than 200 of the 500 wounded soldiers who Chen Xiong had been recuperating in the capital before Ge Su Jun had returned from injuries at this time, and Han Qian incorporated them into these four battalions as officers.

As soon as they were ready, Han Qian and other generals waited for Su Jun to attack, but at this time, there was a shocking good news from the front line, Su Jun was killed in battle, and the rebels were defeated on all fronts.

All the soldiers were stunned, and no one could understand what was happening at the front.

It turned out that Su Jun's 8,000-strong army was a battle-hardened veteran, and he thought that he should be able to capture the Baishi Fortress, which was only defended by 2,000 people, in one battle, and kill his opponent Yu Liang. But he didn't know that these two thousand people were not the forbidden army led by Yu Liang, but the most elite 'Changsha battalion' in Tao Kan's army.

Since the Three Kingdoms, the Changsha battalion has been the absolute main force of the Jingzhou Legion, Tao Kan once said that 3,000 Changsha battalions can block 100,000 troops to defend the city.

For several days, Su Jun was unable to break through the Baishi base, and his heart was anxious, and at this time, the news that the capital was broken by Han Qian, Su Jun's army lost the back road, the grain and grass gradually ran out, and the morale was greatly reduced, Tao Kan seized the fighter and sent 20,000 reinforcements to reinforce the white stone base.

Su Jun was even more anxious in his heart, he drank a few jars of spirits, and led the army to attack the reinforcements sent by Tao Kan with the strength of the wine, he personally led a small number of personal guards cavalry to kill the enemy in spite of the opposition of the generals, but the horse lost its front hooves and was killed by Tao Kan's generals Peng Shi and Li Qian.

As soon as Su Jun died, the rebels were suddenly leaderless, their morale immediately dissipated, and the rebels such as Han Huang and Ma Xiong were also defeated and retreated one after another.

Under the pressure of more than 100,000 troops of the coalition army, the rebel soldiers surrendered one after another, and the rebels on the east road have been annihilated by Yu Binghe, the main force of the rebels and the elite soldiers left by Su Jun are combined, and only 5,000 elites are left under the attack of Tao Kan, and the rebel generals Han Huang and Ma Xiong retreated to the Jiang Mountain around the capital to hide.

The rebel army was at the end of the crossbow, Tao Kan ordered the general to lead the main army to withdraw to Jingzhou, and he himself led 20,000 elite troops to the capital.

In order to completely eliminate the rebels, he ordered the brave general Mao Bao to lead 10,000 of them into the Jiang Mountain to persecute the rebels, and at the same time ordered Han Qian of the capital to lead the army from the capital to encircle the rebels as the leader of the coalition army.

Han Qian, who received the order to send troops, immediately set off with the most elite 3,000 men and horses of Chen Xiong's subordinates, while leaving 4,000 recruits and 3,000 families from various provinces in the capital, and Hua'an was also allowed to set off with the army.

At this time, the rebels trapped in the mountains, there were Mao Bao's 10,000 elites in the south, Han Qian's 3,000 troops in the north, and the ferries crossing the river to the north were also controlled by the Qinwang coalition army.

The food and grass in the army can only last for three days, Han Huang and Ma Xiong are at a loss, they didn't think about surrendering, but as Su Jun's henchmen, they have killed too many coalition soldiers, in case of surrender, can the court let them go?

"General Ma, there are only 5,000 men and horses left in our army, but the enemy army is gathering more and more, can we ......" Han Huang also felt that there was not much hope, so it was best not to spit out a few words.

"General Han Huang said surrender." Ma Xiong hiccuped and asked nonchalantly.

Han Huang glanced at Ma Xiong, raised the wine jar and took a big sip of wine, slammed the empty wine jar on the table in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Impossible, I also know that this is impossible, where are those pedantic ministers in the court so open-minded, hahaha." ”

"Well said, pedantic people are not enough and strategic, come to General Han, let's drink another jar, and lead the army to kill them tomorrow without leaving a piece of armor, hahaha." Ma Xiong was slightly drunk, grabbed two jars of spirits and handed one to Han Huang.

"Come, General Ma, let's drink." Han Huang was obviously not sober either, so he took the wine jar and tore open the seal and poured it into his stomach.

The rebel camp was depressed, and Han Qian's camp was not shrouded in a shadow, originally counting on the two armies to encircle the rebels, so Han Qian only brought 3,000 soldiers, and more than half of them were new recruits who had just joined the army.

Han Qian's generals were all indignant, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Tao Kan was in order to maintain his strength, and handed over the task of fighting with the enemy to Han Qian.

When Han Qian's army and the rebels broke the net, Mao Bao only had to kill from the side, but he could lightly kill the exhausted rebel soldiers, so that most of the credit was given to him, and it was Han Qian's subordinates who died.

Hua'an couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder the imperial court coalition was stronger than Su Jun, but it still allowed Su Jun to break through the capital, it turned out that not only Su Jun's soldiers were brave, but also these coalition troops could not share the same hatred for the enemy, and they all wanted to let others be cannon fodder and pick up the credit themselves.

"General, we only have 3,000 men, and most of them are recruits, and the rebels on the opposite side are 5,000 elites! If our army strikes rashly, it is possible that the whole army will be annihilated. Chen Xiong couldn't help but say.

Han Qian nodded, and said indifferently: "How can this general not know, speaking of which, this Han Huang is also a tiger general, he was very brave when he fought against the Hu people back then, and he killed dozens of Hu generals in the Battle of Shouchun, he is a talent!" ”

Chen Xiong interjected when he heard this: "Not only that, the soldiers under Han Huang are all refugees from the north, and they have the same enmity with the Hu people as the soldiers of our army. It's a pity that the main force of the rebels was dispersed, and General Tao Kan insisted on refusing to persuade him to surrender for the merit of these 5,000 heads. ”

Han Qian frowned and sighed: "Fighting our army may wipe out the whole army, and if you don't fight, you will disobey orders, and both seem to be dead ends!" ”

All the soldiers were also at a loss, and one by one they lowered their heads and frowned and fell into deep contemplation.

"Since these two roads can't be taken, let's take another path! Why bother here. Hua An leaned on Chen Xiong's arms with his head in his hands, and shouted loudly with a relaxed face.

"Hua'an, do you have any good ideas, tell me about it." Han Qian looked at Hua An expectantly. He still trusts his apprentices, after all, at every critical moment, Huaan can always think of brilliant ideas.

Hua An lazily got up from Chen Xiong's arms, raised his eyebrows, looked at the generals in the tent, and said lightly: "If the soles of the rebels' feet are greased, then our army doesn't have to worry about whether to fight or not." ”

"Oh! So where do you think the rebels are safe to flee to? Han Qian asked.

"North of the Yangtze River, the Hu people frequently haunt the place."

Han Qian listened, quickly got up and came to the map behind him, nodded and said, "Let's be more detailed." ”

Hua An walked to the map in a few steps, pointed to the map and said: "The rebels are here, there are 10,000 elites of General Mao Bao in the south, 3,000 soldiers of our army in the north, although there is an exit in the east, but the 10,000 elites of Tao Kan are waiting there, and the only exit of the rebels is in the west. Besides, the main responsibility for letting go of the rebels is Yin Hao, who is holding the ferry, and it has little to do with our army. ”

Han Qian nodded and said with appreciation: "Sure enough, it is a clever plan to get out of trouble, but Han Huang and Ma Xiong don't know the deployment of our army, so they may not flee west." ”

"What's so difficult about this, Hua An is willing to go to the rebel camp to allocate one or two." After Hua An finished speaking, he held his head high and put on a posture of giving up who else he was.
