The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 64
There was a lot of voices outside Luoyang City. The [-] soldiers and horses who sent troops this time had already assembled. Murong Han and Li Keyong led the generals who sent troops this time to meet Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty." Several generals saluted Liu Hong in the hall.

Before dispatching troops, Liu Hong needed to practice for them in the main hall. In the main hall, Liu Hong prepared some wine. Said with several generals.

"I obey." Murong Han and the others also had a bowl of wine in their hands, and after watching Liu Hong drink it, they finished it all at once.

This is also the reason why Liu Hong started drinking since he was a child, so he has such a good capacity for alcohol. Otherwise, Liu Hong would faint in the hall after drinking just such a bowl of wine.In that way, the embarrassment is thrown home.Before sending troops, the emperor fainted in the hall.This is a joke for future generations.

"Send troops." After drinking, Liu Hong said loudly.

Murong Han and Li Keyong led the generals to the outside of Luoyang City, and the soldiers and horses had already assembled.

The long team, led by Murong Han and Li Keyong, set off for Liangzhou, and a battle was about to start.

"Report, the imperial soldiers and horses have entered the territory of Liangzhou." Li Maozhen, Li Zicheng, Li Congke and others in Hanyang County of Liangzhou were discussing their next plan when a soldier's voice broke their conversation.

"So fast?" Li Zicheng couldn't believe it. It's only been five days, the army of the big man has arrived in Liangzhou from Luoyang, but they didn't get any news.This was a full two days ahead of their estimated time.

"This time the leader is Murong Han, I heard that he is a direct descendant of Murong's family." Li Maozhen originally thought that Duan Ying led the soldiers, but it turned out that the leader of the soldiers was someone he had never heard of.

"I'm afraid he is a child of a noble family, without much talent." Li Congke was a little disdainful, and the court actually sent a general without any reputation.

This should be the first time for Murong Han to lead the army. Although he was in the army before, Murong Han was not promoted because of the exclusion of Murong's family. He is now 40 years old and is also a captain.

Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, the captain is a very good position, but among the children of aristocratic families, the position of 40 years old and direct descendants is not favored by others. Many people have already achieved it at the age of 40 The position of the Sangong Jiuqing.

"That's the case, but we have to be careful." Li Maozhen was more cautious, he did not have the absolute confidence of Li Zicheng.Although he had never heard of the generals sent by the imperial court except Li Keyong.But he was still a little worried.

In this uprising, their troops expanded rapidly, and now they have [-] troops, but the only generals are Li Zicheng, Li Congke, Li Conghou, and Li Congrong. The others have no way to take on important responsibilities.

The second problem they faced was the lack of food. Li Keyong and they had food provided by the court, so they didn't have to worry about food problems at all, but they were different.

The food they robbed at the beginning has long since been used up. At this time, they have fallen into the problem of food shortage, and there is not much food left.

"Li Congke listens to the order." Li Maozhen now felt that Murong Han's marching speed would take at least three days to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou.These three days are a buffer time for them.

"Here." Li Congke suddenly heard Li Maozhen calling him, but he still didn't recover.

"Order, you lead [-] soldiers and horses to attack Shanglu City in Wudu County." There are still several thousand stones of grain from the big man in Shanglu City. If you can get it, you can solve the urgent need.

They have just solved the resistance of some people in Hanyang County in the past few days, and they have just calmed down.

For this reason, they did not dare to rob the people of food in Hanyang County, otherwise, there would be a civil uprising, with troops outside and resistance inside, so there was no need to fight this time.

"Take the order." Wudu County does not have many soldiers and horses.This is basically a vain effort.Li Congke happily accepted the order.

"Remember, three days must be won." Now it's a time to fight. As long as they can win the city, they can persist for a while and look for opportunities to annihilate this army. But if they don't succeed, they will face internal troubles foreign aggression.

"Yes." Li Congke said, looking at this, Li Zicheng was a little dissatisfied. He originally thought that he was the number two in this army, except for Li Maozhen, who should be next.

But Li Maozhen directly handed over [-] troops to Li Congke, which is one-fifth of the combat power.

But at this time, on Murong Han's side, just after entering Liangzhou, they looked at the map of Liangzhou. This was given to them by Liu Hong before departure, saying that it might be useful.

When they opened the map, Murong Han and Li Keyong were a little surprised. At first glance, the whole map looked tall and tall, and the entire terrain was described very accurately. terrain of a place.This can be said to be very useful for leading troops in combat.

"The enemy is currently short of food and grass, and I'm afraid they will be in urgent need of food and grass. At present, there is still food and grass in Shanglu City, Wudu County. I guess Li Maozhen may send troops to snatch it here." Murong Han looked at the entire map of Liangzhou, and his eyes were fixed on Shanglu City. Lucheng.

"That's true, but Shanglu City currently has only a few hundred counties defending the city, and I'm afraid they can't resist it at all." Li Keyong also thought that Li Maozhen might send troops to attack Shanglu City.

"Shanglu City, I'm afraid it will last for three days at most. This is still in the situation of defending the city, we must go to support it." Murong Han said.

"Which of you is willing to go?" Murong Han looked at the generals below and said, "What you need to know is that this time we need to attack, and the enemy may have more troops. You must be prepared for a tough battle."

Murong Han talked about the problems they might face this time, "I'll go."

"I'll go." As soon as he finished speaking, the following people said directly, and they were all confident in their abilities.

"Yuwen Chengdu, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses to this place. Remember, guard this place. Don't let them take away a single grain." Murong Han said.

Yuwen Chengdu is the one with the highest force value here, and he is relatively calm, let him go, Murong Han is more at ease,
"Remember, you have to get here in two days. They only have three days to defend the city, so you must get there as soon as possible." Murong Han said.

"No." Yu Wencheng took the order under the envy of others.
