Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

In addition to the 200,000 border troops stationed in the northwest for a long time and unable to move, the imperial court now has 300,000 troops at its disposal.

In addition to the 200,000 troops from the Beida camp, there were also 100,000 troops improvised by local and state capitals.

Ning Fan marked the locations of the 300,000 troops one by one on the map.

"What we have to do now is to bluff to lure the tiger out of the mountain. We must not let the 200,000 troops of the Peking University Battalion be stationed in the capital for a long time. Otherwise, the 50,000 Dragon Scale Army will have no chance at all."

Ning Fan drew a circle and surrounded the 200,000 troops of Beida Camp.

"Although the prince has ascended the throne and become the new emperor, there are not many cards left for the court to play. With the war with the Huns for many years, Dakang's family fortune has basically been ruined. In addition, those aristocratic families are all misers. At the critical moment There aren’t many things I can come up with at the moment.”

Everyone was crestfallen. After all, the new emperor had ascended the throne, which meant that Ning Fan's chances of winning the position were almost slim. However, Huang Chao seemed particularly relaxed.

As soon as he said these words, the faces of the generals immediately wiped away the previous dejection and became energetic. After all, Huang Chao was one of the two major corps under Ning Fan and had great military exploits.

"The news from various places should be gathered tomorrow. It will depend on what the governors of each state think about this matter. If we stand still, we can hope for a quick victory."

Ning Fan said calmly.

This situation is not completely the worst, and there is still great hope for a comeback. After all, Ning Fan now holds two ace armies, the first is the Dragon Scale Army, and the second is the Wolf Soldier.

In addition, there are 200,000 Tianjiang generals and 200,000 Tianjiang troops. Although their combat power is similar to that of the imperial army, it is more than enough to contain the imperial army. At least in terms of military strength for now, Ning Fan and the imperial army They are evenly matched.

Of course, there is one thing, that is, Ning Fan cannot afford to delay it. After all, Ning Fan's current basic base is only one Tianjiang besides Jiangzhou, and the imperial court has a large territory with full potential. Once the war starts in an all-round way, then the imperial court's There will be more and more troops.

So the biggest problem now is a quick solution. Yin Fan must raid Kyoto in the shortest possible time.

"Time is too hasty. Even the local and state capitals may not be able to respond for a while. Come on, even the edict of the new emperor's enthronement has not been circulated to all places. Your Highness will definitely be subject to chaos."

Huang Chao pulled out the sword from his waist and chopped off a corner of the table: "I, Huang Chao, have been following Your Highness Ding my whole life. I will do whatever Your Highness asks me to do. If anyone here has any objections, then He is my enemy, Huang Chao, and he will end up like this table."

Some of the words were quite extreme, and Ning Fan, as the lord, was naturally inconvenient to say them, but Huang Chao could say that at this time, someone must take the lead in unifying his thoughts. Everyone snuggled tightly around Ning Fan, uniting as one.

As expected, after Huang Chao's move, everyone expressed their firm support for Ning Fan.

The north wind roared outside the camp, but it was still extremely noisy on the ice. The imperial court's 100,000-strong army was defeated, with at least 10,000 casualties. The remaining 90,000 people were all defeated. It was necessary to gather these distinguished guests and gather them together. A difficult question.

Of course, the large amounts of grain, grass and weapons brought by the imperial troops were also in short supply for Ning Fan.

At dawn, the noise outside finally stopped, and more than 80,000 of the more than 90,000 broken troops were gathered together.

Those fleeing imperial soldiers who are willing to stay will be directly incorporated into the Tianjiang Army. Those who are unwilling to stay, Ning Fan will pay them travel expenses and let them repatriate where they are.

"Master Song, you lead an army of 200,000 people to attack Kyoto along this route to attract the imperial court's troops. General Huang and I will advance quietly along this route and reach Kyoto as quickly as possible in one day and one night."

After the entire battlefield was cleaned up, Ning Fan immediately planned the next strategy. This had to be said to be a risky move, but Ning Fan was now unable to make the move and had to take the risk.

As the saying goes, wealth is obtained in danger. At this time, there is no room for Ning Fan to be timid. He must fight quickly. At this time, the urgent march allows the wolf soldiers and the dragon scale army hidden near Kyoto to join forces as soon as possible, and then attack with 100,000 soldiers and horses. , Kyoto is Ning Fan’s urgent problem that needs to be solved.

"Your Highness, Tianjiang's troops and horses are not powerful enough to fight, but they are more than enough to hold back the imperial court's troops. I don't seek merit, but no fault. Your Highness just goes ahead."

The gray-haired Song Chengzhou still has the air of a veteran, but he is very powerful despite wearing thin armor.

Ning Fan was still worried. He and Song Chengzhou discussed for another two hours. After agreeing on all the details and what might happen, he took the 50,000 wolf soldiers and his own guards and hurried along the established route. The route began to advance.

The journey of more than 400 kilometers, one day and one night, was a challenge for Ning Fan. After all, such a rapid march could not carry a large amount of food, grass, soldiers, horses and weapons.

After these 100,000 soldiers and horses were united, the problem they faced was to attack the city directly. You must know that Anjing City is a strong capital. It is impossible to break through it in a short time without heavy weapons.

The team galloped northward in the heavy snow. Ning Fan felt that his body was about to fall apart overnight. When it was almost dawn, Ning Fan ordered the soldiers to station down.

To light a fire and cook, you have to take a breath.

While the wolf soldiers were stationed, Ning Fan found Huang Chao and told him some of his plans and concerns for the future.

Of course, Ning Fan's concern was not about the defeat, but about the problems after the city of Anjing was breached. He was worried that the 50,000 wolf soldiers would not be able to restrain themselves, and their burning, killing and looting would cause irreparable damage to the thousand-year-old city.

"Your Highness, this has been the rule since ancient times. Once it is burst, the sword must not be sealed for three days."

Huang Chao took the concerns raised by Ning Fan calmly.

But Ning Fan's heart beat rapidly after hearing this. You must know that Anjing is a prosperous and prosperous city. For Ning Fan, a civilized man from modern times, the massacre is absolutely intolerable.

This is also the concept that Ning Fan has continuously strengthened since the beginning when he founded the Dragon Scale Army, that is, the army must be a civilized division and make no mistakes wherever it goes.

However, although Huang Chao's 50,000 wolf soldiers are very powerful in combat, they are like wolves and tigers. The discipline of the army cannot be said to be lax, but it can be said to be a wolf culture that is advocated.

"Let's do this. The wolf soldiers will go first. Once the city is broken, the dragon scale army will enter the city. Then your 50,000 wolf soldiers will be stationed outside the city. I will double the military pay and supplies, but I will never attack ordinary people. The common people raised their butcher's knives."

Against the firelight, Ning Fan's face looked unshaven, but extremely serious.
