After Han Zexi agreed on the matter, he walked out of the imperial study, and he went to the highest place in the palace to watch the battle from afar.

Above the high pavilion, the cold wind was cold, and listening to the sound of fighting in the distance, he locked his eyebrows. The sky is cloudy, it's spring, but a blizzard is coming.

Han Zexi expected that the rebels besieging the capital would not be defeated in a short time, so he sent an order to let everyone in the palace have a porridge and a vegetable for each meal, and there was no need to supply it according to the usual daily provisions, and they had to hoard food.

Coming out of the palace, Lei Mad immediately led the relevant people to wait for Lei Mansion. The architectural pattern of the Lei Mansion is almost the same as that of the military camp, and he no longer delays the time to set up any institutions, and directly sets up the marshal tent in the Lei Mansion.

The military situation from all over the country in the tent was sent urgently, and the people of the Lei Mansion became miscellaneous workers doing logistics.

If the world is counted as ten points, those who followed Han Zecan's rebellion accounted for six points. These anti-kings who followed the rebellion did not all really support Han Zecan, it was because Emperor Deyuan had no children, and they all had the opportunity to compete for the throne, but because of Emperor Deyuan's last words that could not be true, they had no chance.

Half of them want to watch the chaos in the world, support the army and respect themselves, and wait for Han Zexi and Han Zecan to fight for both defeats before making a profit.

Therefore, although this part echoes Han Zecan's text, but there are no people who really send troops, they can not fight for the time being.

Even so, there are more than ten anti-kings who follow Han Zecan with all their strength and send troops to assist. They attacked Kexian County, beheaded the officials of the imperial court, and assembled in a mighty way to the capital, claiming to have millions of people.

Lei Mad and Huo Tu have always been at odds, even the bold Mrs. Lei and the humble Mrs. Huo squeezed each other when they met. But at this moment, they put aside their prejudices and discussed everything, not only frankly expressing their opinions, but also respecting and seriously considering each other's opinions.

On the evening of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the 200,000 troops from the Langzhou mutiny had already engaged with the Japanese army and the Gongtian army in the suburbs of Beijing, and the battle was tragic.

"The last general asks to lead the troops out of the city to meet the battle, please give the order of the commander!" While they were deliberating, they saw Huo Fei kneeling on one knee outside the tent wearing a helmet and armor.

"Nonsense! You are the Golden Dragon Guard, and your duty is to protect the emperor, so don't go back quickly to guard the emperor! Hotu anxiously went out of the account and rebuked his son.

"The elite soldiers of the Golden Dragon Guard Golden Gun Class are all masters of one as ten, and if they don't serve the country at this time, when will they stay? If the capital is breached, can the palace be defended? Huo Fei retorted to his father loudly.

Lei Mad listened to the dispute between his father and son, his face sank and he was about to get angry, Cheng Haofeng hurriedly bowed to him, and said: "Poor Dao supports General Huo's proposal, and begs the marshal to agree to his request." ”

"You're messing around too? The people of the Golden Gun Class went out of the city to kill the enemy, who was responsible for the emperor's safety? Lei Mad knew that Cheng Haofeng would not go along with the opinions, so his tone was not stern.

Cheng Haofeng calmly replied: "The outer hall can call General Xiangwei to lead the troops to be on duty, and the inner hall can call the Daogu of the Bixi Palace to be on duty." ”

General Xiangwei is Huo Fei's brother Huo Teng, he originally belonged to the army in front of the palace and could be dispatched immediately. However, the Dao Gu of the Bixi Palace has no military position, how can they be dispatched?

Huo Fei saw Lei Mad hesitating, and persuaded loudly: "Great Shuai, the last general agrees to the proposal of the national teacher." Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times! The last general led a team of elite soldiers, but he watched his comrades fight bloodily and couldn't help each other, this feeling was really unbearable! Moreover, the inner hall is full of female dependents, and it is more convenient for the Daogu of Bixi Palace to go to the guards than the guards. ”

Lei Mad looked at Huo Tu, Huo Tu sighed helplessly, knowing that he couldn't persuade his son, so he nodded to Lei Mad .

"Xianwei General Huo Fei listened to the order, and this commander ordered you to take your subordinates and go out of the city to meet the battle immediately! Your main task is to open the way for General Pingkuo to break the siege in Kuozhou. After Lei Mad gave the order, Huo Fei took the order and left.

Their plan was that the local state capitals would fight against the king, and if the officials of the local state also rebelled, they would transfer the officers and soldiers of the neighboring states and counties to quell the rebellion. The troops guarding the border passes are not called in at all, but they must be put into a state of combat readiness.

The most difficult thing is the siege of the capital, the Langzhou mutiny broke out suddenly, if it were not for the news from He Dengtai, they would have faced the danger of the direct fall of the national capital.

However, even after getting the news and gaining a little time to prepare for the battle, it was still difficult for the Gongtian Army and the Japanese army to defend the capital in a hurry.

Hu Yonggang, the "general of Pingkuo," was going to lead troops directly into Kuozhou, and he had more than 30,000 people under his jurisdiction, and after escaping from Langzhou, he only had a dozen personal soldiers, and even if he added the subordinates of other generals who escaped together, there were less than 50 people.

He was anxiously waiting to reallocate his subordinates, but the Golden Dragon Guard went directly out of the city to participate in the battle, how could there be any extra soldiers to be transferred to him?

Seeing that he was anxious, Lei Mad asked him to take his subordinates to rest first, and after resting, there would be an elite division for him.

It was imperative to send troops to Kuozhou, which was not only a military need, but also a strategy to show the imperial court's determination to quell the rebellion and appease the people.

After Hu Yonggang took people to rest, Cheng Haofeng went to Bixi Palace to bring all the Taoist aunts into the palace.

After Han Zecan's rebellion, Ke Yarun was placed under house arrest, but Han Zexi strictly ordered the guards not to abuse and bully her, and to treat her with courtesy.

The guards were transferred away, Cheng Haofeng brought people over, and Han Zexi asked Qiao Chushi to personally bring people to guard Ke Yarun, and persuaded Ke Yarun to write a letter to persuade Han Zecan to surrender.

Ke Yarun did not agree to write a letter of persuasion, nor did he try to escape, but just sat in silence.

Ke Yajie was implicated by her sister and was grounded in Shouliang Palace, not allowed to go out, and not allowed to see outsiders.

Cheng Haofeng asked Ye Saiying to take charge of the specific defense affairs of the inner hall, and after a few words, he flew into the air and hurriedly went to Xianyunguan.

When he arrived outside the Immortal Garden, he took a deep breath before stepping into the door. When he entered, he saw that Qin Mufeng had already arrived, and he had also taken out the fangs that had been pierced into Hu Xianxian's body.

He walked quickly to the side of the bed, looked at Hu Xianxian who was lying on the bed, and saw that she was fine, so he turned his head to look at Qin Mufeng.

"This fanged secret weapon is special, it has both demonic and immortal energy, but fortunately it is not poisonous." Qin Mufeng held the small plate containing the fangs and handed it to Cheng Haofeng.

After Cheng Haofeng looked at it repeatedly, he whispered: "This thing is like a canine fang, it may be a magic weapon refined by some kind of canine monster." It seems that Han Zecan has also invited a lot of strange people, so we have to take precautions. ”

The two chatted about the situation for a few words, and Qin Mufeng said that Hu Xianxian mainly suffered some internal injuries from excessive consumption of spiritual energy, as well as external injuries caused by fangs, which did not hurt the roots. The Shengyuan Pill given by Cheng Haofeng treated her internal injuries in time, and with the elixir brought by Qin Mufeng, she should be able to recover quickly.

"Immortal...... I don't want you to run around and suffer, but I don't have a choice. Xianxian, get better sooner, I need your help. He stroked her hair and said softly.

After a while, he instructed Qin Mufeng and Hang Wuyi to take good care of her, and left with no blood and no hatred.

He carried blood without hatred, and the master and apprentice flew all the way. He pursed his lips tightly, his face resolute, and thought in his heart that he must be strong, strong, to protect his beloved from any harm.

Cheng Haofeng and Bloodless went to the suburb of Beijing, because there were many mountains and forests, and the war had not yet spread there. He ordered Zheng Huiliao to lead the troops to assemble on the official road of Tongkuozhou, and let Blood Wuqi assist in commanding the army.

Then, he reported the matter to Lei Mad to the Shuai Tent. Lei Madness ordered Hu Yonggang and others, who were resting, to come to see him, and asked him to lead his troops to meet Zheng Huiliao on the official road to Tongkuo Prefecture under the cover of Huo Fei.

"General Hu, please keep in mind that you must be strong and raise the prestige of our army, but you must not be impatient to attack the city." After Lei Mad gave the order, Hu Yonggang led his subordinates out of the city.

Lei Mad repeatedly emphasized not to attack hard, which means that the imperial court can't draw troops for a hard attack now, but the rebels will attack our capital directly, so I have to counterattack the rebels' lair, which is a military subordinate, and it is a strategy.

Since it was a strategy, Hu Yonggang could expect that the "elite division" given to him might not be elite. However, as the saying goes, "there are no weak soldiers under a strong general", as a soldier, he still hopes that his subordinates are all elite generals, otherwise he will appear to be a "weak general".

When he saw Zheng Huiliao and Bloody Wufang, as well as the hundreds of self-trained soldiers they brought, Hu Yonggang was pleasantly surprised. All of them are lively young men, with strict formations and high morale.

But looking at the rest of the people who were put together, there were many old, weak, sick and disabled, not to mention, they were still standing crookedly, their eyes cowering.

He inquired in disappointment, and learned that these more than 8,000 people were temporarily transferred from all over the capital, including miscellaneous soldiers in the Xiang army, selected people's husbands, and even beggars who were willing to enlist in the army.

Lei Mad said that he would hand over 10,000 elite soldiers to Hu Yonggang and let him put up a battle of 100,000 elite soldiers. However, in fact, there are less than 10,000 people, not to mention the number of elite soldiers, only a few hundred. With a group of rabble, how to pretend to be a hundred thousand "plain army"?

Under the cover of Huo Fei, Hu Yonggang, Zheng Huiliao, and Blood Wuqi led this team to Kuozhou.

Seeing that the team was almost finished, Huo Fei led the troops back to the city and held the city gate. Looking at the smoke and dust in front of him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew that the smoke and dust in the sky was not stepped on by iron hooves, but the technique of "loach turning into a yellow dragon" taught by Cheng Haofeng to Hu Yonggang, and he made it out to bluff the enemy.

The vanguard of the Pingkuo army was led by Zheng Huiliao, with 300 self-trained elite soldiers riding high-headed horses, which was really majestic.

After the vanguard, Hu Yonggang brought 2,000 military miscellaneous soldiers, after all, these miscellaneous soldiers had military status, and they maintained a formation whether they were riding horses or walking, and the team was quite decent.

After that, most of the people in the group were the thousands of people, and they all walked, sweeping with branches as they went, causing dust and mud to fly. Another hundred or so elite soldiers were mixed in, trying to maintain order and confuse enemy spies.

In the end, he brought more than 200 elite soldiers and hundreds of people to escort siege equipment and other baggage and other supplies.

In this arrangement, if the spies are not detailed enough, they will think that the Pingkuo army really has the strength to attack. Because it looks like it's all a cavalry raid, an infantry siege, and a sapper breach.

In the tent of the commander of the capital, he heard that the army of Pingkuo had set off, and Cheng Haofeng secretly prayed: I hope this plan can coax Han Zecan and reduce the pressure on the capital.

Although the Gongtian Army and the Baotian Army were real tiger and wolf divisions, they only had about 120,000 troops, and the strength of Huo Fei and the other guards was less than 150,000. These about 150,000 troops have to face the equally elite 200,000 Langzhou rebels, and the odds of victory are not high.

If Han Zecan joins forces with other anti-kings and fights the capital, then the capital will really not be able to hold it.

Hu Yonggang's Pingkuo army was just a cover, a cover that made the rebels afraid and did not dare to divide their troops to attack the capital.

On the nineteenth day of the first month, Hu Xianxian's wound gradually healed, and Cheng Haofeng sent her to the Shuai tent to listen to the order.
