The first wave of reinforcements of the Yuan army, under the sudden attack of Xu Huang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, was quickly surrounded and annihilated.

The army of these four people who came to help was only the first wave of troops sent here by Yuan Shao to support, and I think there will be more troops going to Luyang to support in the future.

According to Liu Jian's inference, Yuan Shao would definitely gather a large number of Nanyang county leaders in Nanyang County, ask them for soldiers and supplies, and then gather his soldiers and horses to come to Luyang to fight him.

After the first few failures, Yuan Shao's overall strength is definitely inferior to his own! He was no longer able to carry out the Northern Expedition to fight against himself.

But once his territory is attacked, Yuan Shao and the county lords of Nanyang will inevitably be deeply bound together for the sake of common interests.

In order to protect their vested interests and beat themselves out of Nanyang County, there is no doubt that the county leaders of Nanyang County will spare no effort to support Yuan Shao.

And once the clans of Nanyang County use all their strength to deal with their own entry into Nanyang, it will form a very huge obstacle to their own side.

Therefore, for Liu Jian, taking advantage of the encirclement of Luyang, first secretly summoned Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Yan Liang and other soldiers and horses back as surprise soldiers, and then attacked these soldiers who came to reinforce them, and weakened the power of Yuan Shao and Nanyang Junwang to the greatest extent, which is the most effective strategy, although it takes a little time.

……

The reinforcements of less than 10,000 did not expect that before they encountered Liu Jian's main general, they were suddenly intercepted by soldiers and horses coming from several other directions, which caused their formation to not be effectively played in the first time, and at the same time, there was no way to respond in time.

The elite northern army attacked, and the reinforcements from all four directions were crushed at the first touch.

Yang Ling himself on the first road was killed by Jiang Yiqu, a captain of the Hebei Army.

The second Yingrong himself was not long in the battle formation, and on the way to flee in a hurry in the military formation, he was shot in the back of the neck and died.

The main general of the third road is Deng Yi of the Deng clan in Nanyang, who was born in a prestigious family, and the family is extremely famous in the major Han dynasties.

Deng Yi received a good education in his family from an early age, including in the military field.

Therefore, among the soldiers and horses supported by these roads, the army led by Deng Yi was the most well-organized and the fastest army that was calm after encountering emergencies.

Deng Yi commanded his men and lined up the soldiers and horses at a very fast speed.

He confronted the Wenchou army that came to stop him, and commanded the battle, but he had the demeanor of a general, but it made the Wenchou army unable to break its position for a while.

But it's a pity that Deng Yi's army is not large, and after all, it is the side that suffered the assault, and the location of the assault is still on the plain.

He was able to do his best to stop Wen Chou's attack on him, but he couldn't expect that Yan Liang would send an army to kill him from his flank, so that he couldn't care about each other.

In the end, Deng Yi's army was also annihilated, and Deng Yi himself died in shame after the army was destroyed.

As for the famous man of Runan Xiping, he also led a soldier and horse to support this time, although the family is a famous family, and Qia himself can be regarded as reading more ancient military books since childhood, but the experience in the battle is very different.

After his soldiers and horses were attacked by Zhao Yun, they were almost crushed with one blow.

And when Heqia was facing a life-and-death crisis, in desperation, he had to immediately express his willingness to surrender to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun himself is not a person who loves to kill, and since the opponent is willing to submit, it is a good thing for him.

He immediately stopped the attack on the Heqia group, and immediately ordered his soldiers to take care of all these people.

The surrendered soldiers were confined in the same place, and Zhao Yun himself escorted Heqiao back to the prime minister's tent where Liu Jian was.

After meeting Heqia, Liu Jian didn't treat him well, but received him warmly.

Xun You, Guo Jia and He Qia are all people from the same county, and they have long admired each other.

Although everyone has taken different paths, Xun You and Guo Jia have taken the road of supporting Liu Jian, bringing the country to a new era and continuing to move forward.

And Heqia is for the benefit of the family, supporting Yuan Shao and the old rules.

But this does not prevent these Yingchuan celebrities from admiring each other.

Of course, through today's battle, it can also be seen that the distance between Heqia and Guo Jia and Xun You is really far away, this is not a question of talent, but a problem of their mind and courage.

He Qia returned to Liu Jian's command and became the person of the two masters, even if he is still a famous man in Runan, but today's actions also reflect his essence.

From now on, compared with Guo Jia and Xun Yu, including Xun Yu who is far away in Chang'an, he is not a grade worse.

However, Liu Jian didn't care about this, he arranged a banquet to entertain Heqia in the handsome tent, and at the same time asked Heqia about Yuan Shaojun.

Now that Heqia has taken refuge under Liu Jian, he naturally knows everything.

Under Liu Jian's powerful aura, He Qia told Liu Jian all the news he knew like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

When Liu Jian heard that Yuan Shao had ordered every family in Nanyang County to send 2,000 soldiers in order to send enough soldiers to Luyang, he couldn't help but have a deep smile on his face.

Yuan Shao is in Nanyang County, and naturally has tens of thousands of elite divisions, but relying on these soldiers and horses alone, I am afraid that it is still a little difficult to stop his iron hooves.

If you add more than 2,000 soldiers from the major families, if you think about it carefully, Yuan Shao can add tens of thousands of people, and he can also tie these noble families to the chariot to fight him, which can be said to be indeed a clever strategy.

But the key problem now is that Yuan Shao didn't take it into account, if he could keep Liu Jian out of Nanyang County and force Liu Jian to withdraw his troops due to pressure, then forget it.

But if Liu Jian's soldiers and horses did not withdraw, but found a way to wipe out all these soldiers and horses who rushed to support, or caused them to suffer huge losses, would the county wang of Nanyang County still be able to continue to support him Yuan Shao so desperately?

These families are all grass on the wall, even if their interests are the same, but when it comes to life and death, they will not be destroyed with Yuan Shao.

It seems that Yuan Shao really didn't fully consider these problems.

In other words, in the face of Liu Jian's huge pressure, he really didn't have time to think about it in such detail.

On the surface, these soldiers and horses seem to be Yuan Shao's support, but once something really goes wrong, Yuan Shao has no ability to plug the holes that arise.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian immediately asked people to lead Hecha down to rest.

Then, he asked his generals to enter the account to discuss the military situation.

"The four soldiers and horses who came to attack before were only the vanguard of Yuan Shao's reinforcements, and there will definitely be a large number of reinforcements to come to Luyang in the future."

"It's an uphill battle for us."

"As long as we can use Luyang County as bait to annihilate or defeat the Yuan army that has come to help."

"Then, the land of Nanyang will inevitably fall into the hands of the imperial court in the end!"

"They don't even need to attack the city strongly, they will have big problems internally."

"The top priority is to display the generals on Luyang's side first, arrange the formation, and wait for their reinforcements to arrive at any time! Fight him a few tough battles. ”

When he said this, Liu Jian glanced back and forth at everyone present.

"In the next battle to hold the position, there will be no tricks, and it will all be a hard-fought battle with the other side with strength."

"Are you confident that you generals will win?"

Seeing these people on the side, including Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xu Huang and others, they all stepped out of class and shouted loudly at the top of their voices:

"The last general is willing to serve the prime minister."

Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.

"Good!"

……

Jian'an in April of the third year.

The beginning of the year has passed, this time has entered the spring flowers, the earth is recovering, the time has reached the day of spring ploughing, and Xun Yu, who is still the order of Shangshu, this spring is extraordinarily busy.

Although the whole country about spring plowing and sowing is not within the jurisdiction of his Shangshutai, because Liu Jian is not in Chang'an now, he needs to check many things for Liu Jian.

Especially in Guanzhong Sizhou and other regions, which have just been controlled by Liu Jian for more than two years, many things are still in their infancy.

Now it is just spring, and many livelihood industries need to make plans at this time, and then make overall plans according to the country's situation...... But the problem is that the prime minister is not in Chang'an now.

The prime minister is not in Chang'an, and everyone knows that Shangshu Ling Xun Yu is Liu Jian's right-hand man.

So most of the things fell on Xun Yu.

All departments, including the Thirteen Cao of the Prime Minister's Mansion, will report important matters to Xun Yu.

Of course, Chang'an still has Tian Feng as Liu Jian's right-hand man, and his responsibilities in Beijing are also very important.

But because of Tian Feng's personality problems, Liu Jian made him mainly responsible for the military garrison.

In terms of internal affairs, although he also helped Xun Yu share part of the decision-making, the area of sharing was not so large, and most of the things still needed Xun Yu to personally inquire and make decisions.

Xun Yu has really become a busy man now...... The kind of thief who is busy.

And not only all kinds of things in the court, including many things in the palace and the harem, including the allocation and scheduling after the spring in the palace, etc., the Shaofu side also needs to ask Xun Yu before asking for approval.

It can be said that Xun Yu has now become the most powerful person in the entire Chang'an City.

……

On this day, after the dispatch in the palace was matched, Xun Yu personally went to the palace to see Liu Jin, and gave him the list of financial controls in the palace in the two quarters and the materials requested for the Son of Heaven and the concubine, so that he could present it to the Son of Heaven.

After Liu Jin probably read the list, he immediately said to Xun Yu with a smile: "Lingjun, there is less use." ”

Xun Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

He looked at the list carefully and said, "It's not much different from the previous quarter, it's even a little more, how can it be less?" ”

Liu Jin explained with a smile: "Last quarter, Your Majesty was still one year younger, and now Your Majesty is one year older. ”

"Do you want to expand the palace?"

Xun Yu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Didn't you already summon a batch of palace beauties last year?" It's just been a year, how can I still ......"

Liu Jin smiled: "Your Majesty is also young. ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he just held his identity and didn't do it.

He sighed and said: "Zhongchang Servant, Your Majesty is young, Xun knows this, but now the country is in a critical season, the prime minister and a group of soldiers are fighting with Yuan Shao in Nanyang, Your Majesty is expanding the harem at this time, it is reasonable, I'm afraid it can't be said, right?" ”

Liu Jin was still smiling: "What Ling Jun said is very true, but the old slave has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Xun Yu said: "The words of the Zhongchang servants have been said to this part, so it is naturally what should be said." ”

Liu Jin saluted Xun Yu.

"Ling Jun, as Ling Jun said, at this time, my Han courtiers should uphold the style of diligence and thrift to deal with the country's crisis, this is the responsibility of every courtier, but it is not the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, and even at this time, increase the use of the Son of Heaven, so as to better demonstrate the prestige of my Han Dynasty!"

"If the prime minister is in Chang'an, according to the old slave, the prime minister will definitely agree to increase the clothing of the Son of Heaven."

"Let you think about it."

Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then sighed lightly.

"That's it, the degree in the palace, how much to apply, you can write me a number."

When Liu Jin heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Well said, well said!"

Subsequently, Liu Jin ordered someone to bring pen and ink and make some changes on the silk silk presented by Xun Yu.

Then, he smiled and handed the revised silk silk to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu glanced at it, and first frowned: "So many? ”

Then, he was relieved.

"That's it, for today's Son of Heaven, it's not much."

Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Thank you Lingjun." ”

The two didn't say anything about the use of degrees in the palace, and then Xun Yu asked for his life and wanted to see the Son of Heaven.

According to the rules, Liu Jin first let people in and gave a bow, and got the permission of the Son of Heaven, and he accompanied Xun Yu to the inner palace.

The leopard house in Hebei has been transferred to Chang'an, and now Liu Xie's various small animals are placed in the side hall, and these animals will be transferred after the construction of the new leopard house is completed.

At this moment, Liu Xie was carefully looking at a leopard in the cage next to him!

Obviously, this is a new breed that has just entered his leopard room, full of wildness, and when he saw Liu Xie and the others looking at him next to the cage, he roared.

The leopard roared, but it provoked Liu Xie to dance happily.

Soon, I saw Liu Xie seeing Xun Yu.

"Oh, Xun Aiqing is here, hurry! Come and see this leopard who has just arrived from Yanzhou...... It's mighty and fierce! ”

Xun Yu said: "No matter how fierce the leopard is, before the majesty of His Majesty's Son of Heaven, it can't help but lose its color. ”

Listening to Xun Yu's words, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.

Then, I saw him turn around and said seriously: "Where is my true destiny, it's just for the sake of my ancestors, temporarily taking care of the country!" ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.

"What does Your Majesty say that?"

Liu Xie stretched out his hand and blocked Xun Yu's words.

"Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, my words are sincere!"

"Aiqing, the prime minister is on the front line, how is the war?"

Xun Yu saw that Liu Xie took the initiative to ask about the situation, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is in Nanyang County, outside Luyang County, and has already defeated Yuan Shao's reinforcements on the 15th Road!" ”

"Right now, morale is high!"

"Conquering Nanyang County for the imperial court can be said to be just around the corner."

When Liu Xie heard this, he was immediately excited.

"In less than a month, the prime minister actually defeated Yuan's fifteenth army in a row?"

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "The prime minister's letter said that it is thanks to His Majesty's mighty sky and the soldiers' lives that they have made meritorious achievements to this point!" ”

"Now, there is already a peace negotiation, Yang Ling, Deng Yi, and Yingrong have been defeated by the prime minister!"

"Later, there were Xiang Zheng, Han Song, Liu Xian, Du Xian and several other soldiers and horses were defeated again!"

"Yuan Shao also sent Huang Zu, the general of the Chinese army, to lead Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ji Ling, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi and other generals to fight fiercely with the prime minister, but they still can't win!"

"The soldiers of Nanyang County who went to support in the follow-up have been repeatedly defeated by the prime minister, and the soldiers have been defeated, and they are already at the end of the crossbow!"

"The senior cadres in Luyang City have sent Gan Ning and Chen Wu to fight several times, but they can't win!"
