Beijun, a prosperous county capital in Daxu, is also the location of one of the emperor's palaces.

For more than 50 years, the emperor did not tour the north, but the northern county abandoned the palace and became an empty city.

Until some time ago, the emperor suddenly ordered the palace to be renovated, so this empty city was restored to its former glory.

Beijun has jurisdiction over three states, Jianzhou, Mingzhou, and Anzhou, and each state has a state pastor, which is controlled by the state pastor and the assassin respectively, but the state pastor and the assassin have weak real power.

Among them, Jianzhou is located in a remote area, is a fertile grassland, Mingzhou is located in the Hetao Plain, and Anzhou is located in the Western Plateau, all of which are places of outstanding people.

As soon as the emperor's decree was issued, it caused a shock in the government and the public.

Because Your Majesty is attacking certain forces!

Your Majesty, is this going on a northern tour?

Now that the army of the Southern Expedition has consumed countless amounts of money and food, how much silver does Your Majesty still have to support the Northern Tour?

Both the government and the opposition are worried.

Not only North County, but other places have been affected.

One after another was sent to the emperor, admonishing, refuting, crying, everything.

However, Emperor Zhang Shi did not pay attention to it, and still asked the craftsmen to build the palace, only to wait for the south to be pacified and then bring the power of victory to the north to tour the counties and states.

Zhang Shi suppressed all these twists and turns and ignored them.

"The southern expedition must be a big victory, and I will be given another ten years, no, five years, it will definitely sweep the world and reign in Kyushu."

"Those families, princes and nobles, will definitely submit to my majesty and be at my mercy."

"Hahahaha, that feels so good!"

"At that time, all the princes of the world, all the big families, are trembling at my feet, you all wait for me!"

The more Zhang Shi thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became.

After a month, the southern expeditionary army was all counted and surrounded Hongdu.

The former army was led by Cao Yan with 3,000 soldiers from Beijun, 1,000 soldiers from Xihe, 1,000 soldiers from Donghe County, and 7,000 soldiers and horses from the seven cities of Beiwei, totaling 12,000 people.

The Chinese army remained unchanged for the initial 100,000 troops, and Wu Jinfan camped and commanded it.

The rear army requisitioned tens of thousands of laborers for Zhang Chang and camped in the rear.

The army attacked, and the soldiers pointed to it was Hongdu!

At dusk, the sun sets, dyeing half of the sky red.

"Kill!"

"Break through Hongdu, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

"Kill!"

The morale of the Southern Expedition army was high, shouting again and again, and they rushed towards Hongdu with great momentum!

The army of the southern expedition was fierce, and everywhere it passed, corpses were everywhere.

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

Cao Yan held a spear in his hand, and rushed to the forefront with one horse, and no one could stop him from the spear!

"Poof!"

Cao Yan's spear pierced the chest of a defender of the city, and with blood, he returned to his base with the spear.

"Kill!"

"Protect Hongdu and resist to the death!"

In the city of Hongdu, the defenders met the enemy one after another and fought with the southern expeditionary army.

The battle was fierce!

"Someone, call the general Han Yun."

"No, my lord."

The battle situation outside Hongdu was very tragic, and Han Xiu was a little worried, so he hurriedly found Han Huang.

The soldier brought Han Rong over, and Han Rong bowed his hand to Han Xiu, "Meet my uncle." ”

Han Xiu glanced at Han Rong, his eyebrows showed a look of satisfaction, and said, "This time, Hongdu is in danger, Han Yun, do you have any good strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Han Yun thought for a moment and shook his head.

Generally speaking, the gate of Hongdu is closed, and there are 60,000 soldiers defending the city, plus the advantage of the city wall, the court will definitely not be able to take advantage of it.

The only way to outwit the court is to outwit it!

Han Yun asked in a low voice, "Uncle, have you heard of the plan to flood the Seventh Army?" ”

Han Xiu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Han Yun to come up with this aspect, and couldn't help but say with some concern: "Is there any way to solve this poisonous plan?" ”

"It's just that it's summer and autumn now, and there are many farmlands near the city, and there is plenty of water, so if you want to flood the city with water, I'm afraid it will ......."

Han Xiu frowned, what Han Xuan said was indeed a problem.

Han Yun said with a change of words.

"Hongdu is an ancient city with a lot of farmland around it, and if the city is flooded, I am afraid that it will cause the people of Jiangnan to be displaced."

"Although it is said that these people are the subjects of the imperial court, if they know that it is because of the imperial court that they have been displaced by the disaster."

"Then even if the imperial court can collect these people, I'm afraid it will chill people's hearts."

Han Xiu was silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Do you have a solution?" ”

"I have a clever plan, I wonder which one my uncle wants to hear?"

Han Xiu frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "You can talk about it." ”

Han Xiu admires Han's nephew very much, he has been smart, sensible and well-behaved since he was a child, and has a stable and sophisticated personality.

The future of the Han family is in his hands, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes!

Han Xiu had already decided that when he defeated the Southern Expeditionary Army, he would retire to the mountains and forests and retire for the rest of his life.

As for this nephew, let him inherit his mantle.

Han Xiu believes that the Han family will be able to revitalize the Han family if they have Han Yunxian's nephew.

Han Xiu's gaze looked into the distance, on the wall of Hongdu, he stood with his hands in his hands.

By this time, it was dark and the stars were dim.

"Uncle, since Hongdu is rich in water, can you use this advantage to lure the enemy deeper?"

Han Xiu said.

"How?" Han Xiu asked suspiciously.

"Uncle can send a messenger to Xiling to deliver a letter, saying that the Southern Expeditionary Army wants to storm Hongdu, and let Xiling mobilize reinforcements to come to help."

"At the same time, send carrier pigeons to North County to deliver the news."

"Uncle, think about it, if the world knows that the soldiers of the imperial court are dragged in Hongdu and can't retreat, what will the ambitious people of Gon Gon do?"

Han Yu asked knowingly.

"Oh? They must think that the elite troops of the imperial court are pinned, then these people will be ready to move and take the opportunity to seize the world! ”

"That's right! At that time, the princes of the world will compete with each other, chaos will be rampant, and the situation in the court will be even more critical, no matter who wins, it will be beneficial and harmless to us. ”

Han Xiu added, with a look that was the same.

He also ignored the sudden light in front of him, this method is indeed very effective, once successful, it can not only weaken the power of the imperial court, but also help Hongdu tide over the difficulties.

"Good! Just do as you say. Han Xiu clapped his hands and said.

A look of joy appeared on his face, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Uncle Xie praised, my nephew will definitely do his best to complete this matter." Han Rong said humbly.

The two talked happily, as if they had forgotten the fight outside Hongdu.

...............

"Bang~!"

Cao Yan's spear pierced one of the defenders, and he drew his spear, and the blood hanging from the spear spilled to the ground.

"The general is brave!"

The soldiers shouted loudly, with a look of reverence.

Cao Yan was not arrogant, but said solemnly: "Don't dare to be, this is what I should do!" ”

"General, look, the enemy has withdrawn!"

At this time, a military general ran over and said to Cao Yan excitedly.

"Huh?"

Cao Yan turned his head to look, and really saw that the rebels began to flee in all directions, intentionally or unintentionally.

Cao Yan laughed out loud and said, "The enemy army has been defeated!" Brothers, follow me and slaughter them! ”

Cao Yan said that he would take the lead in the charge.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, and their blood was boiling.

Sure enough, all this went too smoothly, like a trick to lure the troops, and the gate of Hongdu City had begun to slowly open.

"Haha! All right! Brothers, kill! Hongdu is right in front of you! ”

Cao Yan laughed wildly and rushed out first. Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers also swarmed up.

For a while, the swords collided, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

"Boom~"

The crowd stopped fighting and watched warily into the distance.

Suddenly, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves came, disturbing both sides of the fight!

The city gate was also blocked by boulders, and the bridge was jerked back.

The rebels ambushed everywhere, stray arrows shooting out from all directions out of sight.

Not long after, the ironclad cavalry of the rebels rushed in.

"Dada~~"

The sound of the horse's hooves grew louder and closer.

Cao Yan was shocked, but he also knew that it was too late, he had fallen for the rebels' trick to lure the troops, and now the retreat had been cut off, and the army was in Weng City....... Life and death.

"General! What are we going to do? ”

"Kill!"

Cao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you die, you have to die on the battlefield!" ”

"Where is the old man Cao Yan? Dismount and surrender! ”

A burly general, riding a tall horse, shouted majestically.

The burly general was the fierce general Wang Yue. Cao Yan was so angry that he raised a big gun and pointed it at Cao Wang Yue and shouted, "Hmph! ”

Cao Yan clenched the spear in his hand and rebuked angrily: "Hugh is rampant! I, Cao, would rather have the jade broken than survive! ”

"I'd rather die than surrender!"

After saying that, he rushed forward with his spear!

I saw him carrying a spear, waving and provoking, fighting with the other party.

Cao Yan's guards were beside him, desperately resisting.

"Cao Yan's old horseman, the Daxu court has long been decayed, why not change the flag? Allegiance to the Lord! ”

Wang Yue persuaded him to surrender.

Wang Yue shot a general in front of him, and stabbed the spear in his hand directly into Cao Yan's chest.

"Don't think about it, let's dream of spring and autumn!"

Seeing this, Cao Yan hurriedly dodged sideways, swept the spear in his hand, and forced Wang Yue back.

Wang Yue failed to make a move and attacked again.

"It seems that you want to kill yourself, the defeat of your army is an indisputable thing, you will bury more than 10,000 troops in front of the Daxu Imperial Court, and what awaits you is only the crime of losing the army."

Wang Yue admonished again.

"Your court will only seize your family, exterminate the three clans, and use the law of the country and the military law to correct it!"

"Phew!"

Cao Yan spat on the ground and scolded: "Dog thief, kill if you want to kill!" Why bother talking nonsense? ”

Wang Yue saw that he was stubborn, and shook his head, not ready to waste his lips and tongue.

"Bell~!"

Wang Yue flicked the spear hard, picked it away, and then smashed it over.

Cao Yan couldn't dodge, and the spear was hit.

"Bang~!"

Cao Yan flew out upside down, fell to the ground, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

Seeing this, the 3,000 men and horses of the Beijun soldiers took the lead in defecting and defecting to the rebels.

"Wow~~"

The soldiers of the northern county surrounded Cao Yan in the center, and constantly stabbed him in the body with spears, stabbing him all over his body and dying.

Till death!

In the military camp of the Daxu Imperial Court, Wu Jinfan stood in the handsome tent, his eyebrows tightly locked, and his face was full of sorrow.

Wu Jinfan read the military newspaper carefully, frowned, and muttered to himself: "This Cao Yan is so ignorant and ignorant, he actually fell for Han Yun's plan and was defeated!" ”

"General, why do you say that Cao Zhengjun is so confused!"

A close confidant general complained.

Wu Jinfan sighed and said, "I don't know how to punish him." ”

"Someone, pass me a handwritten letter, and report it to the court quickly."

"Yes."

One of the generals turned away.

"General, what are we going to do?" Another general asked.

Wu Jinfan was silent for a long time, and finally issued an order: "Stop the siege, camp and stand by!"
