On November 22, Pham Minh You's unit and Tian Quang Minh's unit divided their troops in Lingwu County.

The 30,000 people under Pham Minh You's department will carry the grain and grass for 20 days and quickly drive straight into the direction of Chang'an.

They had to pass through Lian County and Fuping first.

Then, it will enter the territory of Anding County, and go all the way south, passing through Sanshui, Gaoping, Anwu and other counties.

After that, you can enter Zuofufeng and reach Qi County.

More than 100 miles after Qi County, is Chang'an City.

If the whole journey goes well, it can be completed in 12 or 3 days.

Subtracting the time it takes for the post road to transmit military information, the rebellious Son of Heaven in Chang'an City only had 11 or 2 days to react after learning the news of Lingwu City.

On the eleventh or twelfth day, the stupid Son of Heaven, who did not know how to soldier, was powerless at all.

When the siege began two days ago, Fan Mingyou sent someone to send a secret letter to Huo Guang, in which he explained the strategy and inventory of the "Qingjun side".

Whether the general wants it or not, this letter will force the general to cooperate with them inside and out.

With the general's confusion and secret restraint in Chang'an City, whether the Son of Heaven wants to move their relatives or gather the army, it will not go well.

The 40,000 people under Tian Guangming will also advance south with a few days of grain and grass newly collected in Lingwu City.

When they came to a city, they divided their troops into five thousand, plundering and besieging them.

These two teams of men and horses were in a hurry, cooperating with each other, and attacked towards Chang'an.

This is the wishful thinking of Pham Minh Huu and others.

……

In this way, under the instigation and planning of a few people like Pham Minh Huu, the 70,000 Han troops who went to Saibei sank into a rebel army in a daze.

The news that "70,000 troops entered Chang'an City on the 'Qingjun side'" also spread south quickly with the people who escaped from Lingwu County.

For a time, the officials and people of Beidi and Anding counties were panicked and panicked.

However, before they could decide where they would flee, two rebels came one after another.

Fan Minh You's department, who arrived first, "did not commit any crimes in autumn", and went directly to the army; Later, Tian Guangming's department needed to ask for a lot, and looted from time to time.

Because the army has just started, military discipline has not been completely abolished, and although the people have been killed and wounded, they have not yet reached the point of purgatory on earth.

But the war was a war after all, and the northern part of Beidi County and the northeastern part of Anding County were completely chaotic.

On November 24, Tian Guangming's troops besieged Lian County, and two days later the city was broken, and the county commander and the county lieutenant were martyred, killing and wounding more than 1,000 soldiers.

On November 26, Tian Guangming's troops besieged Fuping County, and three days later, the city was broken, and the county commander and the county lieutenant were martyred, killing and wounding more than 2,000 soldiers.

In this way, Tian Guangming's troops followed behind Fan Minh You's department, and every time they arrived at a city, they would leave three or five thousand men and horses to besiege the city and slowly swallow it.

This strategy was very effective, and the rebels quickly took control of the cities in Anding and Northland.

……

On November 26, when Tian Quang Minh's headquarters surrounded Sanshui County, Fan Minh You's troops had already come to the outside of Sanshui City.

As before, Pham Minh Huu only sent an envoy to the Sanshui County Commander to symbolically send a letter of persuasion.

In this letter of persuasion, Pham Minh Huu reaffirmed the righteousness of the "Qing monarch's side" and ordered him to subsequently surrender to Tian Quang Minh's subordinates.

Subsequently, he ordered 30,000 troops to be stationed outside Sanshui City.

In the past few days, Fan Minh You's department has not stopped for a long time on the road, saying that it is camping every day, but in fact, it is just a hasty establishment of the camp.

However, there is no need to worry about someone attacking at night, because the two counties of Anding and Northland will not be able to draw troops to compete with them.

On this day, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Fan Minh You arranged for tomorrow's march to the lieutenants under his command and sent them away.

Today, the morale of the 30,000-strong army is acceptable, but Pham Minh Huu still does not dare to be careless, and wants to let the captain and the envoy of the army take the private army to bomb and monitor everywhere.

The means of coercion and inducement must be used in turns, and every effort must be made to stabilize the morale of the army.

The others left one after another, and only Huo Yu and Huo Yun were left in the big tent.

Without outsiders, there are fewer worries about speaking.

"Tian Guangming's department has already surrounded Fuping County, and Sanshui can be reached in three days, and the urgent need for grain and grass has been alleviated, which is similar to what we expected."

After listening to this, Huo Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"At today's marching pace......"

"Four days later, our department arrived in Anwu, and Tian Guangming reached Sanshui ......."

"Seven days later, our department reached Qi County, and Tian Guangming reached Anwu ......"

"In this way, the distance between our department and Tian Guangming is only three or four hundred miles at most, and there is no big problem in the end."

The two armies echo each other from afar, and even if there is an accident, they can reinforce each other.

This army of 70,000 is like a dragon.

The tail is in Lingwu County, and the head and mouth are in Sanshui.

The troops scattered in the middle are the body of this dragon, from north to south, entrenched on the border of Anding and Northland counties.

This situation has gone as smoothly as possible.

Along the way, although the city gates were not opened, the pot pulp was eaten to welcome the righteous division.

But they didn't do much to resist - these cities could only gather a thousand soldiers, and no matter how loyal they were to the Son of Heaven, they would not dare to provoke these 30,000 troops.

Fan Mingyou didn't dare to have too much extravagance, and it was okay if these county commanders didn't come out to cause trouble; After Tian Guangming arrives, he will take them down.

"After Qi County, you will be able to reach Chang'an in two days." Huo Yu said to himself.

Arriving in Chang'an City, a fierce battle is inevitable.

"Yes, from today, nine days later, I will be able to arrive in Chang'an." Fan Mingyou nodded and said.

For a while, there was silence in the big tent of the Chinese army, and now that it has come to this point, there is no turning back.

One step forward is life, and one step back is death.

"Our army lacks siege equipment, how is this good?" Huo Yun asked.

When attacking Lingwu, Huo Shan suffered a big loss without siege equipment.

The city walls of Chang'an City were not comparable to Lingwu, and Huo Yun naturally felt a headache.

"This matter is not difficult, Qi County is a big county, there are workshops for building ladders and siege rams, and the county order is my Zuojun League's people, I repair a book, he will definitely open the city gate."

Huo Yu comfortably answered Huo Yun's question, he had already discussed this matter with Fan Mingyou, but he hadn't said it yet.

Qi County is subordinate to Zuo Fengyi and is the northeast gateway of Chang'an City.

If you take Qi County, you can not only get siege equipment, but also get food and grass supplements.

Although the food and grass in the army were enough to support them to Chang'an City, if they could be replenished, it would still be of great help to stabilize the morale of the army.

There are soldiers, there are food, there are ladders...... Chang'an City seems to be within reach.

What's more, in addition to these, they also have internal responses.

"Two days ago, my father should have received a secret message from us, right?" Huo Yu asked and answered himself.

"Well, I'm afraid the county magistrate has also received the military information that we are waiting for the 'Qingjun side'." Pham Minh Huu said.

In the tent of the Chinese army, it suddenly fell silent again, and several people showed a very rare trace of sadness on their faces.

No matter how bold and carefree they are now, it seems that victory is just around the corner.

But they had to face one thing, their relatives were all in Chang'an City.

Although Fan Mingyou and others don't know how much military power the Son of Heaven has, they don't know if Huo Guang, the general, can control the Son of Heaven.

However, whether it is Huo Guang, the Huo Party, or the relatives of the Huo family...... They were all put under the guillotine by Fan Mingyou and others.

Maybe Chang'an City has already been bleeding and the heads are rolling.

They are careerists, but they are still human after all, and it still hurts a little to think that their relatives may have been killed.

"Don't worry, the general is still the general, and the lieutenant and the lieutenant are also loyal to the junior general, and they should be able to protect the generals and our relatives."

"Moreover, the county official is crazy, and he wants to be a benevolent monarch every day, maybe he doesn't dare to do it."

"Don't forget, since he ascended the throne, he hasn't killed a single person, maybe he won't dare to kill at all, like Emperor Xiaohui!"

Fan Mingyou is worthy of being a little older, and he has seen more big scenes, and he thinks he has "punctured" the cowardice of the county officials in just a few words.

"Exactly! Before Confucianism made trouble, only a few people died, and the county magistrate actually wanted to atone for them, which is simply a woman's kindness! Huo Yu said with a sneer.

"The little general's words are reasonable, I'm afraid the county officials won't even dare to kill chickens!" Huo Yun, who was so fat that his eyes were slit, said disdainfully.

As the night deepened, several people in the big tent of the Chinese army said many disrespectful things to the Son of Heaven, and they all thought that they could see through the Son of Heaven.

It's just that they don't know yet that Renjun doesn't mean that they won't kill.
