9. Counterattack on Wuguan Road

At this time, Chen Xianqi, the Huaining Army's gate flag general, reminded Li Xilie: "Li Yuanping guarded Ruzhou City for even an hour, and his plan was just a crazy talk."

But in the end, Li Xilie laughed and said no. The current situation is as he said: 100% of the imperial court's troops were concentrated in Heshuo, 40% were concentrated in the Eastern Capital, Bian Song, and the remaining 20% ​​were in Fengxiang, Jingyuan, Lingyan and other places in the west of Beijing. They were constantly being transferred east by Li Shi's son. The court's finances were not enough to make ends meet. Baba was waiting for the southeast pit transportation, not to mention that the pit transportation was seriously threatened by our Huaixi and Li Na's Ziqing.

So while the Emperor Chang'an is all focused on the east, we can go against the trend and go straight to his lair along Wuguan. This is a very good choice!

Tian Yue, Wang Wujun, Zhu Tao and Li Na, who have my courage?

At the foot of the towering Fangcheng Mountain, Li Xilie immediately turned over and got down a mule. Under Zhuda Panax notoginseng, he summoned all the door flag generals, door gun generals, teeth generals and masquerades. He pressed the trembling Li Yuanping's neck with one hand, and broke the pine branch with the other hand, and drew a map route on the sandy land:

"Send a message to Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang, using Xuzhou as the gate, continue to travel from cavalry (all of them are mules) to travel east and west, either attack Luoyang or Bianzhou, to restrain the military strength of the court; Chen Xianqi, you return to our Shenguang and Caizhou, win over Shanpan and Jiang bandits, go south to attack Qizhou and Huangzhou, and threaten Chen Shaoyou of Huainan Road, and ask him to pay "beg for money to live" to save his life; Han Shuanglu and Liu Zhi continue to occupy Xiang, Deng, Jun, Fang, and attack Suizhou and Jingnan, the court, remember not to fight the decisive battle with the government army, just plunder everywhere, there is no need to stay in a city and a place, so that the court cannot judge where I am...

And I myself led 15,000 elite troops (the 30,000 people I could not gather from Li Yuanping’s ideal) and more than a thousand fake soldiers, and immediately returned to Nanyang, and then went west from there, along the Danshui, and attacked Wuguan."

Unexpectedly, Li Xilie really agreed to Li Yuanping's crazy plan. He laughed and patted Li Yuanping's shoulder, like a cat slapping a little quail: "Remember, Wei Bo from Heshuo and those self-defense thieves in Hengji, I, Li Xilie, like to do big things! I heard that you are a clan, aren't you?"

Li Yuanping was so scared that he nodded quickly.

"If you enter Chang'an City, I will support you as the emperor, sit in the Zichen Hall. I will come as the Grand Marshal of the World. Do you dare?"

At this time, Li Yuanping thought of Yunhe, who was far away in Tanzhou, Hunan, the Xiangshui elf who was smiling in the pavilion. As long as he could become the emperor, I would like her to be my imperial concubine. I must do this!

Actually, I knew in my heart that a mere Ruzhou no one would really make Yunhe really moved for me. I, I, the blood of the royal family flowed in my body, and I could also sit in the three halls of Hanyuan, Xuanzheng and Zichen. By that time, Yunhe should never have any possibility of questioning me again, right?

When a man goes crazy for women, he will be enemies of the whole world.

"With me here, I will definitely let Pushe attack Chang'an City! I hope Pushe will not break his promise at that time." Under the pine trees, Li Yuanping's sharp voice echoed in the valley.

"Never break your promise." Li Xilie might have made a promise.

A few days later, Li Xilie returned to Nanyang, Dengzhou, and then the Huaixi soldiers of the Great Range led the prosperous city, which Li Baisheng praised as "Baishui Zhenren (referring to Emperor Guangwu of Han, Nanyang of Liu Xiu's hometown), and the prosperous city of Luoyang. The tall buildings faced the purple roads, and the Jiadi connected the green mountains." The flames burned to Wuque Mountain west of Nanyang. Then the ant-like Huaixi army carried leather belts, small flags, swords, bows and arrows, and drove groups of mules, carrying the materials robbed from Xiangyang and Nanyang, passing through the valley, crossing Xichuan, and heading towards Wu Pass.

In addition, in order to support Li Xilie's march, Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang's righteous brothers were indeed elusive and attacked Luoyang fiercely. Soon, Peng Po and Yique, on the edge of Luoyang City, all appeared in Huaixi mule army. The men and horses were all black in their armor, connected to each other for several miles, galloping like the wind, burning, killing and looting everywhere. The people of Dongdu dragged their children and daughters and fled everywhere. Henan Yin Zheng Shuze and Yangdi Liu Dexin dared not fight, and retreated all the troops back to Luoyang Xiyuan to defend, and kept asking Chang'an for reinforcements.

The emperor was at a loss and could only come to the west of the capital to make a decision.

It was already June of the third year of Jianzhong. Gao Yue stood on the beacon tower on the top of Liangshan, blowing the soft mountain wind from Qianling. Beside him stood Gao Gu, Guo Xiaofeng, Gao Chongwen, and Monk Mingxuan, overlooking their hard work over the past seven months: Xinfengtian City.

In the new Fengtian City, the old city and the new city formed a "convex" shape with a circumference of eight miles. Mogu water was introduced in the east of the city, and the digging canal surrounded the surroundings. The excavated soil was piled up in the area between the canal and the city wall, forming a wall of sheep and horses in the shape of a soil wall, and planted trees to consolidate the soil and hinder the enemy's movements.

In the northeast of the city, Gao Yue also ordered people to dig the river channel of Mogushui to form a bag-shaped broad lake, which was scattered between Fengtian City and Chentao and Ludian in Xianyang. In this way, this artificial lake was used to divide the channels between Fengtian and Xianyang, making it impossible for the enemy soldiers to advance on a large scale.

The Mogu in the north of the city and the Liangshan in the northwest of the city were all built and guarded by the city barriers. They were windingly connected to the beacon on the mountain with a corridor wall. There was a warning in one place, which was known to everyone.

The corners of the city walls of Xinfengtian City are also made into arc shapes to replace the original vertical shapes, so that soldiers can be stationed on it to prevent enemy soldiers from attacking the blind corners of the city wall. Every 100 steps, a protruding horse-faced wall is built with bricks and stones to reinforce the walls. A long battle shed is built on the horse surface. A five-foot-high female wall is built with bricks and stones to the outside, and the inside is empty. Three layers of space are separated by wooden boards, connected by ladders, and food, arrows, gray bottles, wood, tincture oil and other garrison materials are stored inside. It can be said that each horse-faced battle shed is an independent garrison point, which can cooperate with each other and kill and attack enemy soldiers with crossed firepower on the three sides.

Six thoroughfares were built in the outer city, and workshops such as wood, metal, iron, stone, military tools, as well as equipment such as barracks, markets, stables, and post stations. In addition, there are "heavy walls" that run across the outer city, which divide the space in the city: In this way, even if the enemy soldiers break into the outer city, they will be blocked by heavy walls and there is not enough space for rest and gathering.

In addition to the A-Zhu Building, salt warehouse, barn, museum and other buildings in the inner city, they also face each with towering towers, which can overlook more than ten miles outside the city, a bell tower and a drum tower. This was the center of the command during the war.

"With such a city, even if tens of thousands of enemy troops attack, it will be enough to hold on for a long time." Gao Yue was very satisfied.

At this moment, the hand-held shop on the distant road hurried over the horse and whipped, and while running, he raised his hands and shouted something. The soldiers and craftsmen in the felt tent outside the city avoided them.

Soon, in the outer city post station, the postmasters who were handing over the shop were sweating like rain, and they were desperately bowing their heads and drinking the water in the sink.
