"Li Kewu was fully capable of his land, while Bai Gui was optimistic that the times would change. Old friends abandoned me and took me, and others took me."

In Maoling City, I heard that Wan Xiu fought with hungry people in Chang'an and was a soldier. The affairs of the civil servants were prosperous. The soldiers had exceeded the expectations of 3,000. Weibei did not need to specialize in recruiting men to transport grain. Only then did the eighth Jiao convince the fifth reunion.

"This is the way of merchants, but it was learned and used by the king and put it on the military battle. Now it has been unprecedented for such a miracle effect."

"It was learned from making coal briquettes back then." Di Lun smiled and said, "The truth is dead, but people live, and sometimes they have to do the opposite. Just like Cen Junran is fighting for the brigade, others are reducing the stove and luring the enemy, but he is adding the stove and luring the enemy. This is the beauty of use, which lies in one's heart."

Looking back on how to manage the capital's important areas when he entered Chang'an half a year ago, it was a big problem that the fifth relationship could not solve, and it was also the most dangerous moment when he felt that he was.

Tens of thousands of soldiers who have not yet been trained and officers without firm will throw them into the world of flowers. They may be captured by a comfortable life at any time. They will be trapped in and out of the city and the luxurious palaces, and will be completely destroyed.

And there is not enough official team at hand to take over the huge city, with a lot of trouble and a mess, so I can only use the old officials of the new dynasty. However, corruption has become a trend for these people. If a stone of food is distributed, you can only give you a bucket of resentment, and all resentment will be attributed to the fifth reunion.

The world is already in wartime, but Chang'an people are thinking about peaceful days. This kind of thought is naturally unsatisfied, so they hurriedly handed over the paper.

But even when the surrounding regimes believed that "Chang'an is a dangerous place and is not desirable", the fifth relationship changed his mind and felt that Chang'an was a treasure house.

"The origin of the overlord is people-oriented."

There are still 200,000 people in Chang'an. In the chaotic times when the population is sharply reduced, as long as they are used properly, they can also burst out with great power.

"Now, when you go back, you will treat chaos and wait for trouble with peace of mind. This is the one who treats your heart."

The fifth reunification asked Ren Guang to send 100,000 stones of grain to Wan Xiu, and ordered him to recruit 10,000 or 20,000 Chang'an youth and military officers to train. Before the end of the twelfth lunar month, except for the Wei army taking over the twelve capitals, they would maintain public order in the 160, eight streets and nine streets.

"Just let Chang'an people govern Chang'an people, not local people, so how can you figure out the twists and turns in it?"

Implementing military control can temporarily exclude the filthy administration of the Han Dynasty and the accumulated corruption in Chang'an since the beginning of the new era. Will it make a comeback in the future? That is a story later.

In addition, the Fifth Reun decided to let Song Hong, the Shaofu as the "Jingzhao Yin", manage the entire capital, and prepare the supporting officials one by one. Most of them were drawn from various counties in Weibei and even Hedong to build a whole team first to prevent them from being panicked after entering the city. Let them use the army as their backers to fight wits and courage with the stingers who are still alive in Chang'an City.

The preparations are ready, but the time to officially enter Chang'an has not yet arrived.

Fifth reins leaned against the stove, held the hot meat soup and distributed it to the eighth Jiao half. He started eating beautifully, and lit the spoon on the south side and said:

"It's time to enter the city or not. People in Chang'an still have to be frozen and hungry for a few days, which is in the enemy, not in me!"

...

The Wei army and the Longyou army controlled the area in Weinan, generally bounded by Fengshui and Kunmingchi areas. The vast Shanglinyuan is a region where Longyou cavalrymen appeared. Wei Xiang took the 3,000 "Hu Qi Camp" stationed in Xuanqu Township, Chi, Kunming as the vanguard. The commander was his confidant general, a powerful and powerful soldier from Didao, Longxi, Niu Han (hán).

Niu Han is a typical Guanxi Han. He is more than eight feet tall, has a round waist and a brave and talented person. He is a leader in the frontier and is very good at dealing with Qiang and Hu. However, he is doubtful about this war this time.

"In the past two months, the Wei army repaired the three Wei bridges that were burned during Zhumang. Now they are transporting grain to the north of Chang'an City. How dare they travel between the Xiwei Bridge, which is on the verge of plum blossoms and our army's cavalry?"

Niu Han initially thought that this was the Wei army's plan to lure the enemy, so he was to lead them to rob grain and to ambush them. Therefore, after watching for several days, he did not find any ambushing troops around him.

After all, they had the advantage of cavalry, and the Hu Qi Camp was quite familiar with this area. Seeing the Wei army transporting several days of food and fodder, while their side could only chew hard dry food here. Niu Han finally couldn't help it and sent hundreds of cavalry to test it first.

The operation went quite smoothly. They crossed the frozen shallow and abundant water in front of the Wei army scouts, quickly entered the north of Chang'an City, and attacked the grain team.

But the Wei army, who was escorting the food, did not resist, and threw it off the car and ran away. When they poked it open, they found that it was Huang Chengcheng's food! But the Hu Qi Camp did not dare to stay for a long time. After burning the batch of hundreds of stones of grain, they quickly withdrew and reported to Niu Han.

"General Niu, we will return victoriously!"

Niu Han was even more surprised. Since the fifth Lun defeated Liu Bosheng, no one dared to underestimate the Wei army, but this defense loophole is too big?

Afterwards, the Wei army stopped the grain transport of Xiwei Bridge and shrank the defense line east of Zhongwei Bridge and Haoshui.

"Wei Army is scared!"

"General, continue to go east and cut off the grain transport from Zhongwei Bridge."

Niu Han was quite hesitant and still felt that this was a way to lure the enemy. After thinking for two days, the rich man in the city who escaped told Niu Han that he had been fooled!

"The attack the day before yesterday was deliberately relaxed. What the Wei army wanted was to let the Longyou Army attack Chang'an people's life-saving food, so that the Chang'an people could see this with their own eyes!"

"Ren Guang, the commander of the capital under the command of the King of Wei, has sent the person who was recruited to read the text and snippets, and he took the grain transporter on the eight streets and nine roads to inform the 200,000 people in the city!"

The young and strong in Chang'an wanted to join the army to eat grain and use work as a relief work, but the elderly, weak, women and children could still receive porridge and drink to last their lives. It can be imagined that the people of Chang'an who had been hungry for a long time had already eaten relief food, but suddenly they heard that the Wei family's cavalry attacked and the food was burned.

Ren Guang sighed and asked someone to tell them that due to the Wei family's trouble, the Wei army might not be able to deliver food smoothly, and the King of Wei could not come back before the end of the twelfth lunar month...

These words made people in Chang'an full of righteous indignation. While scolding Wei for not being a son, they also cried and called their parents, hoping that the King of Wei would not care about the Wei army and came to Chang'an quickly. Chang'an was willing to serve him.

That's not all. They even organized a group of Tai students, dozens of old doctors as representatives, with the "Let's Books of the People" written in a simplified manner. Just like in Chang'an, one person and one vote, begging Wang Mang to be An Hangong and become the emperor, they would go to Weibei to kowtow to the King of Wei, hoping that he would come to Beijing as soon as possible and relieve the people from the upside down.

The current situation is that whoever dares to stop the Wei army from transporting grain, whoever wants to prevent the King of Wei from returning to Chang'an is the enemy of 200,000 people in Chang'an!

"Now everyone in the city is slighted by the Wei family. They would rather be Wei dog than be a Han citizen!"

"The fifth relationship is to regard us as a bandit, and to raise the bandits to fear the people?"

Niu Han was stunned when he heard this. The next day, when he wanted to use his old trick again, he sent thousands of cavalry to attack the grain team at Zhongwei Bridge, he was indeed hit by the head-on side of the Haoshui River!

In addition to the Wei army, there were also newly recruited Chang'an soldiers lined up in scattered teams, waving flags and shouting next to them.

"Walk forward, I'm afraid the Wan Xiu army will be surrounded from the south of Chang'an."

Niu Han then retreated in disappointment and went to Yuji to inform Wei Xiang of the situation on the front line. Unless the Longyou army continues to advance eastward, relying on cavalry, there will be no more gaps to take advantage of in this winter.

"The fifth reunion is sure that Longyou will not attack in large quantities."

Wei Xiang smiled bitterly. The fifth reunion was not wrong. He was very cautious in using troops, after all, it was not the industry. Because the logistics pressure in winter was huge and the food that the powerful could provide was limited. More than 10,000 Longyou infantry arrived from Chencang to Yuji. The logistics line was already at its limit. Going forward, there was a danger of being sent by the fifth reunion to force the crossing from the Wei River with a canal ship to cut off the retreat!

Therefore, we can only station far away and send cavalry to harass us. However, no matter how strong the cavalry is, its range of attack is limited. The Hu cavalry camp does not have the courage of Lai She. The counties in Weinan are already broken, and there are no targets for attack except the military camp and the grain team...

"The Green Forest has lost its gates and Tongguan has been built, and the fifth reunion has no worries."

Wei Xiang was very worried. He received news from Weibei that the Fifth Reunification Army gathered, and the civilians from all over the country were organized to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and directly raided Wuling. Liyang's plan would not work.

There is little chance of a big victory in this adventure, so I can only hold on for the time being and choose to seize the only thing they may gain.

"We marched in winter to prevent the attack instead of defense."

"This is the purpose of attacking Geng Yan, taking all the northern lands, guarding Xiao Guandao, and gaining a high-level view of the situation!"

...

"Longyou sent troops to three groups, with such a big battle, I thought that they were going to do something big. In the final analysis, it turned out to be just for my small town?"

After receiving the edict sent by the Fifth Lun to avoid the Longyou cavalry and finally sent it, Geng Yan learned about the arrangements of the uncle and nephew of Wei, which was funny.

This winter, Geng Yan was actually not very happy. After he defeated Liu Bosheng, he was still unsatisfied and excitedly led 5,000 people to chase Lai She. However, this group of soldiers was Wan Xiu's headquarters. Xiao Geng was not well-known and would not be able to use them no matter how he used them.

Lai She was extremely slippery and crawled around in the valley, but still asked him to escape to the north and defect to the Longyou army that was conquering this place.

After Geng Yan arrived in the northern region, he responded to the two thousand stones of the northern region that had been driven away by the local tyrants, and Maoling Hero Yuan Shu.

Xiao Geng originally wanted to do a big battle in the north, but Di Wulun was busy dealing with internal issues at that time and ordered him not to go to war with the Western Han Dynasty, and he would delay it if he could.

It is difficult to disobey the order of the king, so Geng Yan had to let his subordinates pretend to be coming from Wuling to support the original heroes of the Great Hero, and to destroy the Longyou Army, but it is hard to resist the offensive of the good sons of the six counties. Now they only guard the two cities of Niyang and Quegu (Changwu, Shaanxi). How frustrating it is.

But today he was quite excited and explained the terrain with his younger brother Geng Guo in front of the map: "From the west to Chang'an and Longyou, the mountains and rivers are surrounded by the Wei River, and it is difficult to move in a large army. There are also Longshan Mountains crossing. The saka is nine times, and it is unknown how many miles high. If you want to go up, it will be steep in seven days. Therefore, there are two roads that you often walk between the two places."

"One is called Xiaoguan Road, also called Beidao. Go back to the middle road, walk northwest along the Jingshui River Valley, and after leaving Youfufeng, you arrive at my quailgu (chúngū) city, go west and enter Anding County."

"I understand my brother's intention."

Geng Guoran: "This time, when Longyou came to the east, Wei Xiang from Weinan was to restrain the main force of the King of Wei. Wei Cui from Qi County was to cut off the news of our grain traits and to fight along the Jing River to the northwest, while Liu Long, a general from Anding County, fought along the Jing River to the southeast. In the final analysis, it was to seize my Quegu City!"

That's right, this is why Geng Yan insisted on defending the Quegu City. An inconspicuous small town in the mountain plateau was like a thorn stuck in the throat of the Longyou forces, and it was also the root cause of the war.

"Longyou did not expect Liu Bosheng to be defeated so quickly, for fear that after the beginning of spring, the king would finish his internal affairs, and then the two groups would attack Longyou, and the Wei family would be in danger!"

The current situation is that Geng Shu led two thousand people to Niyang City to resist thousands of coalition forces of Fu and Gansu. The defenders of the small town of Quegu were only 3,000, but they were facing more than 20,000 attacks from Wei Cui and Liu Long. When Longyou first started, the sixteen powerful families worked together and had a maximum force of 40,000 troops. When the farming was busy, they were reduced by half. Although the farming is now slack, the troops have recovered, but they are still full of their hometowns.

"How do you say it in the king's edict?"

"The king ordered us to hold on and hold on to the death. After the spring, Wei Xiang and Wei Cui retreated. The crisis will be resolved without a fight."

In the plan of the fifth reunion, the counterattack will not come after the spring, but how could Geng Yan be willing to wait? Because he accepted some of the first gang members, the food in the city was a little tight. Since he understood that the focus of this battle was on himself, he was even more eager to try.

"The road to Longyou is only one Xiaoguan Road, and there is another one, which is Longguan Road. Passing through Yong County, looking at Qishan, and following the Baishui River, all the way to Longguan."

Let’s compare it to this. Xiao Guandao is the nostril of Longyou, and Longguandao is his mouth. This time, what Longyou wants is to breathe smoothly.

The straight line distance between these two roads is actually very close, especially at the location of Quegu County. A hundred miles southwest are several county towns on Longguan Road...

"Is it amazing to have cavalry?"

Geng Yan, who had always been obsessed with Youzhou rushing cavalry, made a very bold decision that was as crazy as Lai She!

"It's winter day of the twelfth lunar month. In the hills and valleys, the cavalry's pace is not as good as that of infantrymen!"

"Longyou cannot steal the chicken, and he will break a handful of rice."

His fist hit the Longguan Road on the other side of the hills and hills: "I want to try to attack Longguan Road, occupy a county town, and force Wei Xiang to retreat in a hurry."
