Chapter 100: Zhang Xun leads the troops
With Liu Hong's order.
Chang'an City, which was originally in pessimism and despair, and was somewhat lifeless, suddenly regained its vitality.
Whether it is ordinary people or the officers and men of the three armed forces, their hearts are full of excitement.
In particular, the soldiers and civilians responsible for cultivating the wasteland and cultivating sweet potatoes were extremely excited.
There was hope in his face.
They grow life-saving food.
The yield per mu is as high as 1,500 catties!
I don't know if it's dozens of times more than before!
While planting sweet potatoes, thousands of craftsmen in Chang'an City are also in full swing forging muskets.
The weapon of the dragon roaring thunder is almost about to take a back seat.
Although it is very lethal, it is too bulky, and it does not have the same range as a musket and is not very accurate.
The musket, a weapon that is easy to carry, has high accuracy and is not weak in lethality has naturally become the first choice for Liu Hong's armed forces.
In addition to the dragon thunder that was necessary during the siege, Liu Hong ordered the removal of all the dragon thunder.
The gunpowder contained inside is a good thing.
The 100,000 defenders of Chang'an City also began to learn more about how to effectively organize attacks and intersperse defenses.
The training methods of these modern troops were all copied by Liu Hong.
It is the army of various armies that can often be seen outside Chang'an City to see countless Duanping spears and simulate exercises.
At the same time as the vigorous movement in Chang'an City.
The news of Liu Hong's return also quickly spread to all forces.
The news that he wanted to cut the Yuzhou assassin Shi Kong Ling with a thousand knives and invite all forces to come to visit also reached everyone's ears.
The news was like a boulder dropped on a calm lake.
It caused an uproar in an instant.
Liu Hong is back!
Inside Yuan Yao's camp.
"What! You mean Liu Hong is back? ”
"Really?"
When Yuan Yao heard the news of Liu Hong's return, his eyes were full of incredulity.
How is this possible?
The other party has obviously been missing for nearly a year.
How could he still be alive and return to Chang'an City?
"It's true, my lord."
"Chang'an City personally sent troops to deliver a message for us."
Zhang Xun trembled and handed the letter to Yuan Yao.
Fine beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead at this moment.
Liu Hong is back.
Doesn't this mean that the other party is likely to start liquidation?
thought that he had killed Wei Yan and Zhang Jiao one after another.
Zhang Xun couldn't help but be afraid.
Although it is said that Yuan Yao's army of 400,000 is now full.
But he didn't dare to say that he would definitely beat Liu Hong.
And he is always a general under Yuan Yao, and he will inevitably go to the battlefield.
When the time comes...... Thinking of Dong Zhuo's tragic appearance of being slashed by a thousand knives, Zhang Xun shuddered.
Yuan Yao was naturally aware of the other party's mentality, and couldn't help but glance at it with disdain.
"Zhang Xun, I think you seem to be very afraid of Liu Hong?"
Broken!
Hearing Yuan Yao's words, Zhang Xun suddenly chuckled in his heart.
"How so, lord! I'm your general, how can I be afraid of those rats! ”
Zhang Xun shook his head again and again, patted his chest and said.
Hearing this, Yuan Yao suddenly snorted coldly and looked Zhang Xun up and down.
"In that case, then the conference where Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kongling was cut by a thousand knives, you should go and take a look."
"I will give you 80,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry, a total of 120,000 troops, and Qiaorui will go with you."
"In addition, I will take care of your family."
The voice fell.
Zhang Xun's complexion changed suddenly.
"My lord, me!"
He was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but when he saw Yuan Yao waving his hand impatiently, he had to quickly retreat.
It's already obvious what the other party meant.
Zhang Xun walked out with some despair.
With 120,000 troops, how could it be just to see a torture conference?
Obviously, Yuan Yao asked him to take an army of 120,000 to test the depth of Chang'an City.
Even in order to prevent him from escaping, he also threatened his family.
At this moment, Zhang Xun only felt that his intestines were about to repent.
Why did he have to kill Wei Yan and Zhang Jiao to take credit?
Otherwise, it wouldn't have come this far.
After leaving.
Zhang Xun went straight to the camp to point troops.
Since you want to test the depth of Chang'an City.
He is bound to run in advance to cooperate with the army, and at the same time deal with possible plans.
However, at the thought of the dragon thunder stacked in the warehouse, Zhang Xun was still slightly relieved.
The city of Chang'an was isolated, occupying only a Liangzhou and a crippled Jingzhou.
Now that nearly a year has passed, even if Liu Hong has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, he may not be able to restore his previous strength.
And he, Zhang Xun, is not without dragon roaring thunder.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the odds are quite high.
Meanwhile.
Within the jurisdiction of Yuzhang County.
Fishing village.
The hundreds of musketeers of the first squad had almost cleared the village.
The corpses of all the robbers were burned to the ground.
As for the bodies of the dead villagers, they were buried in peace.
The fishing village of hundreds of people is now not surplus with dozens of people.
All the rest were killed by the robbers.
The team leader and the team members were extremely angry about this.
"Captain, you said that the country... When will the emperor send someone to inform us to evacuate? ”
One of the team members asked suspiciously, tearing at the fish.
It has been a long time since Liu Hong and the others left.
For all this time, they had been ordered to guard the fishing village and protect the landing vessels.
It's just that they can't get news from Liu Hong, and everyone can't help but be a little worried.
Hearing this, the team leader shook his head slightly.
"The emperor naturally has the emperor's arrangement."
As he spoke, the team leader bit down on a large piece of leg meat.
And yet at this moment.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves kicking in their ears.
The squad leader's face suddenly changed.
"All be hidden!"
"The groups alternate cover, ready to withdraw to the sea at any time!"
The team leader hurriedly spoke.
When the order was given, everyone picked up their muskets and ran out, looking extremely vigilant.
The sound of horses' hooves grew closer.
A big flag at the head fluttered in the wind.
The squad leader's eyes narrowed slightly, although he couldn't read Dahan's words.
But just by the evil aura emanating from those cavalry, you know that you are not a master to be messed with.
Although there are muskets on their side.
However, if a war breaks out, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.
"Let's just pass by to check on the situation..."
The team leader said silently in his heart.
At this moment, he also very much hopes to receive news from Liu Hong.
It doesn't seem to be very safe near the coast.
……
"Shi Siming, are you saying that Mo Lao Er and they have lost contact in this place?"
The leader of the cavalry looked at the small fishing village that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
You must know that Mo Lao Er, they were specially sent out by him to search for financial reports and beauties.
Who is so unsightly and dares to touch him Han Tie?
Don't want to live anymore?
"General Han, I'm absolutely true, they said they wanted to come here before they disappeared."
"It's been a few days, and I haven't seen anyone come back, so something must have happened."
Shi Siming said.
