Even if Ju Wu Ba sat down on his knees, he was still much taller than Wang Yi.
Although he still had to raise his head slightly to see his face, Wang Yi couldn't ask Juwuba to lie on the ground. He rubbed his chin, looked at Juwuba happily, and asked: "General Juwu is sure
Break through Yangguan and capture Liu Xiu?"
Ju Wuba puffed up his chest and said in a loud voice: "General, don't worry, as long as we let the last general go to Yangguan to capture Liu Xiu's son, he will be captured easily!"
When Wang Yi heard this, he looked up and smiled. He took a look at the generals around him and said cheerfully: "When the country is in crisis, we need loyal and courageous heroes like General Jugu to step forward!"
After receiving Wang Yi's approval, Ju Wuba was also full of pride. He subconsciously straightened his back and raised the corners of his mouth.
Wang Yi cleared his throat and said: "General Juwu!"
"The end is here!"
"You follow my general and go to the front army to capture the rebel Liu Xiu!"
"General, I will obey your orders!" Ju Wu Ba was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately stepped in to salute.
In Kunyang, Wang Yi, Wang Xun had already heard the news that Wang Xun led an army of more than 400,000 to Yingchuan County. After hearing the news, half of Wang Feng's three souls and seven souls were frightened.
Although our war in Yingchuan progressed very smoothly, with consecutive battles and victories, Liu Xiu's troops captured Xiangcheng and Yangguan, and Wang Chang's troops captured Dingling and Yancheng. However, the former won by chance and the loss of troops was not significant.
big.
On Wang Chang's side, Dingling and Yancheng were captured entirely by force, resulting in heavy losses in troops.
Currently, there are only 8,000 Han troops left in Kunyang. There are less than 3,000 on Liu Xiu's side and 6,000 on Wang Chang's command. Taken together, they are less than 20,000.
And the Mang army has more than 400,000 troops, and our own troops can't keep up with a fraction of theirs. Is this battle still worth fighting?
The first thing that Wang Feng thought of was to run quickly. He could no longer stay in Yingchuan. If he didn't run now, he would just sit and wait for death. When more than 400,000 reckless troops came close, he wouldn't even have a chance to run.
After receiving the letter from Wang Feng's messenger, Wang Chang, who was still in Yancheng, hurried back to Kunyang. Seeing Wang Chang's return, Wang Feng, who had no master, seemed to have found a backbone. He took Wang Chang's arm and shouted urgently.
Said: "Yan Qing, you are back! Did you hear that the Mang army has entered Yingchuan, with a total of more than 400,000 people, known as one million!"
Wang Chang nodded and said: "The general has heard about it!"
Wang Feng spread his hands and said: "We have less than 20,000 soldiers. Even if we fight to pieces, we can't withstand so many reckless troops. For the current plan, we have to retreat quickly and retreat to Nanyang to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the reckless troops."
!”
"This..." Wang Chang frowned and said nothing.
Wang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked: "Yan Qing, do you think this battle can still be fought?"
Wang Chang glanced at Wang Feng and said, "Even if we have to withdraw our troops, it cannot be now."
Wang Feng asked eagerly: "How long will it take?"
Wang Chang sighed secretly and said: "General Liu is still in Yangguan. If we want to withdraw our troops, we have to wait until General Liu leads his army back to Kunyang before we withdraw!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Feng was so confused now that he had forgotten all about Liu Xiu. He said urgently: "I will repair the book now and ask Uncle Wen to abandon Yangguan and retreat as soon as possible.
Go back to Kunyang!"
Wang Chang nodded. Judging from the current situation, this is the only way to go.
Due to the huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, Wang Chang did not believe that his side had the capital to fight against the more than 400,000 reckless troops in Yingchuan.
However, he was really unwilling to let Wang Chang withdraw like this, so he temporarily used the fact that Liu Xiu was still in Yangguan to stabilize Wang Feng.
More than 400,000 reckless troops entered Yingchuan with great fanfare, hoping to fight the Han army to the death. Naturally, the Red Eyebrow Army received news of such a big event as soon as possible.
Completely opposite to the reaction of the Han army, after hearing this, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, the self-proclaimed Third Elder Fan Chong, was overjoyed and thought that his side's opportunity had come.
There are more than 400,000 Mang troops, which can be said to be Wang Mang's entire property. At this time, if our own side takes advantage of the opportunity and goes straight to Chang'an, how can it be invincible?
Fan Chong planned to lead his troops in person and march westward first to Luoyang and then to Chang'an. However, someone stopped him in time, Mo Yan.
Mo Yan once had a relationship with Liu Xiu in Nanyang. Unfortunately, in his opinion, Liu Xiu lacked ambition and ambition, and was not someone he wanted to assist.
After leaving Nanyang, he moved to Puyang, where Mo Yan met Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army.
Fan Chong admired Mo Yan's talent very much, and Mo Yan also admired Fan Chong's ambition and decisiveness in killing. The two hit it off and hit it off. After that, Mo Yan stayed in Red Eyebrow and became a member of the Red Eyebrow Army.
The number one military advisor.
Hearing that Fan Chong was going to attack Luoyang and Chang'an again, Mo Yan laughed out loud. Seeing this, Fan Chong asked excitedly: "Young master, you also think that our army should take the opportunity to send troops?"
Mo Yan cheerfully asked: "My lord, do you think our army's current strength can withstand these more than 400,000 reckless troops?"
"This..." At present, the Red Eyebrow Army has a large number of troops, and it will soon grow to 300,000. However, among the nearly 300,000 troops, the real combat troops are only about 100,000, and the rest are
, most of them are refugees who cannot live any longer. Many of them are so hungry that they are as thin as a stick. Don't let them go to the battlefield to fight. It is difficult for them to walk even a long distance.
Fan Chong was able to lead the Red Eyebrow Army to such an extent that he was certainly not incompetent. He thought about it carefully, shook his head slowly, and said, "We are no match for the more than 400,000 Rang troops!"
Mo Yan continued to ask with a smile: "Since the lord knows that we are not the opponent of the reckless army yet, why do you want to bring this trouble to yourself?"
"ah?"
"Our army remains stationary, and this disaster will naturally flow to Yingchuan and Nanyang. We are standing by and can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If the lord leads his army to attack Luoyang or even Chang'an, directly threatening Wang Mang, then this disaster will immediately flow to Yingchuan and Nanyang.
It will flow back to our side. By then, the Han army will be in Nanyang and Yingchuan will enjoy its success. Our army will be in trouble and unable to protect itself. By doing this, my lord, isn't it just setting yourself on fire? What else is it?" Mo Yan said with a smile on his face.
Smiling, he asked softly.
After listening to what he said, Fan Chong shuddered, then slapped his forehead repeatedly, and sighed sincerely: "Young master's words are very kind! I was... impulsive and hasty!"
Mo Yan bowed to Fan Chong and said seriously: "Since Yan has taken refuge with the lord, he will naturally do his best to assist the lord and achieve a great cause. Today, the world is in chaos, all heroes are fighting together, the imperial court is weak, and Mang is on the verge of death. Our side
We should preserve our strength and plan for development, so that in these troubled times, we can prevail over the others and be the best in the world."
Fan Chong nodded repeatedly, thought for a moment, and asked: "If the Han army is destroyed by the reckless army, what will happen to my troops?"
Mo Yan smiled and said: "We should imitate the Han army and make the Liu family emperor."
Fan Chong's eyes flashed and he said in surprise: "We also... also want to make the Liu family emperor?"
"Exactly! In today's world, people are thinking about the Han Dynasty. Only by establishing the Liu family as the emperor can they be respected as orthodox!" No matter who is established as the emperor, it doesn't matter. In the future, he will be firmly controlled by his own side.
"Then... what if the Nanyang Han army defeated the Mang army?" Fan Chong himself didn't believe this, because the strength of the two sides was so different that the Han army had no hope of even 10% victory.
Mo Yan said: "If the Han army wins, we should follow the example of the Han army and make the Liu family emperor! By then, there will be two emperors of the Liu family in the world, and it will be time for our army to compete with the Han army in Nanyang.
"
Fan Chong looked at Mo Yan blankly. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the young master has already thought so far!"
Mo Yan said: "It is always better to prepare for a rainy day than to adapt to circumstances." Opportunities always favor those who are prepared.
The more than 400,000 reckless troops headed by Wang Yi and Wang Xun have now become the key to major events in the world.
Whether the Xin Mang court can continue to maintain, and whether the Nanyang Liu family can rise and replace Wang Mang, it can be said that the focus of the world is focused on these more than 400,000 Mang troops.
As the Mang army entered Yingchuan, people's focus naturally fell on Yingchuan.
The focus of Yingchuan is now on Yangguan.
Led by Liu Xiu, there are only a few hundred Han troops left. They are still stationed in Yangguan, preparing to resist the next wave of incoming reckless troops.
The day after Song Yi and Wang Lian's troops were annihilated, in Yangguan City.
Zhu You walked into Liu Xiu's battalion commander, stepped in and saluted, and said: "My lord, there are 719 prisoners captured by the reckless army, including more than 200 wounded soldiers. How should we deal with these reckless soldiers?"
Liu Xiuzheng looked at the detective report on the table and said without raising his head: "If you are willing to surrender, accept it. If you are unwilling to surrender, send it away. As for the wounded soldiers, they can stay in the city for treatment temporarily."
"But," Zhu You said with a look of embarrassment, "Lord, our army doesn't have much medicinal materials anymore, and we don't have much food and grass."
Our brothers are almost running out of supplies, so it is unworthy to waste medicinal materials and food on these wounded soldiers of the reckless army.
Liu Xiu raised his head and glanced at Zhu You, stood up, stretched, and the joints on his body made a crunching sound, and said, "Without medicine, many of these wounded soldiers will die."
Zhu You said angrily: "These reckless soldiers are helping the tyrants to commit evil, and they deserve to die!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Enough people died in the Battle of Yangguan. These injured reckless soldiers no longer pose a threat to our army. Why can't we give them a way to survive and have to kill them all?"
Zhu You muttered a few words in a low voice, and finally responded: "Yes! Lord!"
Liu Xiu asked: "How is Wang Lian now?"
When Wang Lian was mentioned, Zhu You became even more angry and said harshly: "Since he was captured, he hasn't eaten or drank, and he hasn't said a word. It looks like he's already broken, just waiting."
Let’s give him a knife!”
Liu Xiu said: "Bring him to see me!"
Zhu You said: "Master, there is no need! I think Wang Lian is steadfastly loyal to Wang Mang, no one can persuade him!"
Liu Xiule said: "The seer is telling me."
Zhu You shook his head helplessly and said, "Master, I'll bring him here right away!"
Not long after, Wang Lian was taken into Liu Xiu's camp by Zhu You. At this time, Wang Lian had long lost his original majesty. His helmet and blade armor had been removed, and the clothes inside had also been pulled out. He only wore White middle coat.
There was a bandage on his head, and there was blood on the bandage, which was hit by Fu Jun's halberd. Looking at his face, he saw that his face was gray. He had neither eaten nor drank water in the past two days. His cheeks were thin and his eye sockets were thin. Deep sunken, dry and flaky lips.
However, he was in good spirits. At least after seeing Liu Xiu, he frowned, stood up without kneeling, and bared his teeth and grinned at Liu Xiu, as if he wanted to pounce on him and bite him.
Zhu You kicked him unceremoniously in the back, and the kick hit Wang Lian's knee. This time, he was straightforward, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a thud.
He struggled to get up, but Zhu You suppressed his shoulders, preventing him from moving.
