Chapter 83 How the world does not have husbands (6)
The Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/.
In the fifth year of Dihuang, that is, on June 13, the first year of Gengshi, Wancheng, Nanyang District, finally announced the surrender of Kaicheng after being besieged by the Green Forest Army for three months and twenty-five days.
In front of the besieged city, there were 12,523 defenders. When the city was opened, the self-defense general Cen Peng was below, leaving only 3,681.
But on the day of Kaicheng surrender, no matter how the Green Forest Army searched in the city, they could not find the highest commander of the court in the entire Nanyang County, the Shizhong Wang Mu.
It disappeared into this city surrounded like an iron bucket.
But Wang Kuang no longer had to take him too seriously. Wancheng, the most important target in front of him, was already held in the hands of the Green Forest Army.
This means that the entire Nanyang County, except for the Kunyang area in the northernmost part, has been completely in the hands of the Green Forest Army, and has been combed into a complete fist.
The rebels from the other cities had already gathered towards Wancheng before Wancheng. In addition, the recruitment and recruitment during this period, on the day of Luocheng, even though the previous siege was very heavy, the total force in Wancheng had reached 100,000.
Although the number of 100,000 vs. 400,000 is still very different, it is no longer a level of inability to fight. After all, the new army has not yet attacked Kunyang for a long time, and its morale has gradually declined, while the rebels recently captured Wancheng, which is the moment of high fighting spirit.
After occupying Wancheng, Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan's headquarters was moved to Wancheng and the original prefect's palace was changed into an imperial palace. However, he had not ordered to send troops north to rescue the precarious Kunyang.
"Liu Ji, come with me and go to Wang Kuang." Liu Yun had been waiting for three days since Wancheng was captured. However, the army not only had not yet advanced north, but also had no movement to set off.
Liu Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Kunyang struggled to defend the gateway to the north of Nanyang and to buy time for the capture of Wancheng. However, Wancheng is now in hand, why didn't the army head north yet
Thinking that his younger brother A Xiu was still outside Kunyang City, with only 6,000 people struggling to relieve the pressure in the city, Liu Yun couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Okay! Boss!" Liu Ji's hot temper had complained many times in these three days, but they were suppressed by Liu Yun's name of the overall situation. Now that he finally waited for Liu Yun's order, he was immediately ecstatic and roared loudly, carrying the axe on his body and walking out of the tent.
"Let go!" Liu Qi frowned and said to Liu Ji in a cold voice: "We are always going to negotiate in name, do you still want to kill people?"
"Oh...but that bastard Wang Kuang..." Liu Ji lowered his head by Liu Jian's glance, but he still muttered dissatisfiedly.
"No matter how bad guys, we are still living under someone else's roof." Liu Yun shook his head: "Even if you chop someone up, that's not the case now."
Liu Ji had no choice but to put down his axe in disappointment and followed Liu Shu out of the tent with bare hands.
Although Xiaoyue Tower was burned down in the failure half a year ago, only one ruin was left, Liu Xuan had been operating in Wancheng for many years, so his family was naturally far more than one Xiaoyue Tower. As long as he thought, with Wancheng, there were countless places to stay. However, for the current status of a rebel general, he could only live in the simple camp of the military camp.
The former prefect's mansion, to the west of the palace, was a military camp. Liu Yan now took Liu Ji and the other two to live here. Wang Kuang, as the Supreme Duke of Dingguo and the only person in charge of the Green Forest Army, did not live in the military camp anymore, but instead conquered a wealthy family's house far north of the city as his own residence.
Liu Yan and Liu Ji arrived in front of Wang Kuang's mansion on horseback. They saw that the original plaque at the door had been taken off, but the new one had not been hung yet. However, the soldiers guarding at the door had clearly marked the identity of the owner here.
"The Supreme Duke of Dingguo can be here." Liu Yan turned over and got off the horse, walked up the steps, and headed towards the guards in front of the door.
"Da Situ!" The guard's leading school saw Liu Yan from afar and had already caught up and laughed: "Dingguo Shanggong is in the mansion at this moment, but... Can Da Situ Rong Mo go and report it first?"
Although it was a question, the primary school’s attitude was clear and firm.
"Go." Liu Yan nodded, unwilling to make things difficult for the small school, so he stood at the door with Liu Ji and waited. It was not until a long time later that the small school hurried out from the door again, his face full of apology: "The Grand Situ has been waiting for a long time! The public in the Dingguo will invite you!"
Liu Yan and Liu Ji followed the school and walked into the door. After passing through the yard twice, the school stopped in front of one door and rushed to open the door for Liu Yan: "Please, Grand Situ."
Liu Yan stepped into the door and saw Wang Kuang sitting on the couch in the room, playing with a jade coral in his hand. Hearing the door open, he looked up at Liu Yan with a smile. The furnishings in the house were magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings. It seemed that the original owner was indeed rich. But he didn't know where his family was after being conquered by Wang Kuang.
"Dingguo Shanggong, I'm upset." Liu Yan nodded lightly, strode into the house, and sat opposite Wang Kuang on the couch: "I'm here to ask for some questions."
"Tell me." Wang Kuang nodded, lowered his head again, rubbed the Ruyi carefully, looking at him unable to let go of his love.
"Kunyang has been holding on for nearly a month, and it must be in danger at this moment. Why has Your Majesty not sent troops north to rescue Kunyang so far?" Liu Yan tried his best to calm his voice: "The Duke of Dingguo can meet His Majesty every day, and I believe he must know His Majesty's plan."
"Kunyang..." Wang Kuang raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Yan: "Well, maybe I forgot to tell Da Situ. The new army outside Kunyang has stopped siege."
"What!" Liu Yan's heart was thrilled: "How could it be like this when did you get the news!"
"It was the second day after Wancheng fell into the city, the news came from our army's horse exploration outside Kunyang." Wang Kuang lowered his head again, and gently stroked the Ruyi with his fingers: "After all, the military affairs of the Great Situ are busy, and such a small matter has not been submitted."
"Small things! What a shitty thing!!" Before Liu Yan could not control the roar of the earth: "Wang Kuang, you..."
Before Liu Ji could finish his words, he had been slapped heavily by Liu Yan, and then two sharp blade-like gazes pierced his face.
"Liu Ji, don't you know what restraint means?" Liu Yan's words made Liu Ji silent and could only cover his face and lower his head. However, although he lowered his head, he still looked upwards at Wang Kuang and gritted his teeth.
"I have no choice but to discipline, I hope the Supreme Duke of Dingguo will forgive me. I wonder if I can explain in detail why the situation in the new army has been moving since Kunyang withdrawn," Liu Yan turned his head and looked at Wang Kuang and asked word by word.
"When did I say that the new army has withdrawn?" Wang Kuang raised his eyelids and flipped over: "I just said that they stopped siegeing the city. Kunyang was still surrounded, but..."
A ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Liu Yan's heart: "It's just something"
"It's just... they seem to have discovered a more valuable target, so they temporarily stopped the attack on Kunyang, but they just couldn't siege. There is enough food in Kunyang City, which can be safe for the time being. Why should we rush for a while?" Wang Kuang smiled: "After all, Wancheng is newly established, the troops need to rest, and the food and grass to go north will take some time to collect. During this period, we can also recruit some more soldiers. Since Kunyang can still persist, we should naturally make full use of this hard-won time."
"What are the more valuable goals you are talking about!" Liu Yan clenched his fists and stared at Wang Kuang, feeling that the blood in his body was about to boil.
"It's the reinforcements from Dingling." Wang Kuang looked careless: "Although he didn't know what the new army had gained and was not taking the lead in capturing Kunyang, he wanted to chase the reinforcements, but... this is always a good thing for our army."
"Wang! Kuang!"
Liu Yan slapped the table in front of him hard, stood up, his eyes shattered.
A Xiu... A Xiu was in the support army!
"Why, Liu Yan, you want to kill me?" Wang Kuang smiled, and stood up on the couch, paced around Liu Yan: "Tsk tsk, it's worthy of being the Dragon of the Yellow Spring, and his angry look is indeed quite majestic. With your skills, you can kill me easily now. But... you'd better think clearly, after killing me, can you walk out of this house and this Wancheng?"
Liu Yan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down from his anger just now.
Wang Kuang was right, he was indeed confident. Otherwise, he would not have even arranged a guard around him when he met him.
Wang Kuang knew very well that Liu Yan's skills would be easy to kill him at such a distance. But even if he could kill Wang Kuang now, he would still be in a state of death. What's more, Liu Xiu was still outside Kunyang City at this time, facing the new army's 400,000 troops.
"Go back first, Da Situ." Wang Kuang smiled on his face and reached out to pat Liu Yan's shoulder: "In another five days, we will go north to Kunyang. Before that, we must be patient."
