Dahan first prince

Chapter 251 What Marquis Anguo said was very arrogant!
——It is day and night, the moon is full in Chu, and the fifty li around Yongcheng is like dawn.

Decades later, Ma Qian of the Taishi Company wrote this in his historical work: "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Gaozu".

But it is a little different from Tai Shigong’s fair hearsay + brain supplements. At this time, Yongcheng is not lit by moonlight...
"call······"

Standing on the turret, watching the rebel soldiers receding like a tide, Liu Yingzong was mentally prepared, but also let out a long breath of foul air with a blank face.

On the south wall of Yongcheng, it has long been lit by torches and piles of bonfires that are no more than a dozen steps away;

Even when they were sent out, the position of hundreds of steps was also brightly lit by the rockets fired by the defenders in the city and the bonfires set up by the rebels.

This also allowed Liu Ying to see clearly the reason for the situation outside the city even though she was standing on a turret that was a little higher than the city wall at midnight.

——Rebel soldiers who were seriously injured, still howling and struggling, were carried away by retreating comrades;

But what awaited them was not timely treatment, but quietly waiting for death in an extremely empty space.

The reason why the surviving rebel soldiers carried away the remains of the lightly wounded and even the dead comrades-in-arms was not to treat the wounded and bury the dead, but to clear a clearing of the wilderness for the rebels to attack the city later.

At this moment, the southern suburbs of Yongcheng can already be called the Shura Field...
Taking a long breath outside the city with a blank expression, Liu Ying turned sideways and looked at the city wall and the situation inside the city.

To Liu Ying's surprise, the sword and shield soldiers on the city wall were clearly at the forefront, but the casualties they suffered were not obvious.

Go to hell, that is, some unlucky people were shot in the eyes, neck and other vital parts, and died.

Compared to the city walls where the casualties were not large, they were inside the city walls, and the bows and crossbows thrown towards the outside of the city walls seemed to have suffered a lot of casualties.

As far as Liu Ying saw: there are more than a hundred steps in the city wall, and almost [-]% of the area where the remains of the fallen soldiers are placed, are all wearing the unique costumes of bow and crossbow soldiers.

——The single leather armguard tied on the forearm of the right hand alone, and the thin red military robe that is empty without the armor at all.

"A little Huainan Wang Yingbu's rebellion, and a mere Yongcheng offensive and defensive battle, the casualties on both sides are in tens of thousands..."

"If it's a decisive battle between the Han and the Hungarian..."

"Whoo~"

With a heavy expression on her face, she exhaled again, and Liu Ying couldn't help but bring a little sternness into her eyes.

——No matter how much Chang'an court conceals it, no matter how people misinterpret it, the indisputable fact is: this battle is a civil war!
It is a civil war against each other within the Han Dynasty!

In this civil war, everyone who died was a Han Chinese! ! !
In Liu Ying's period, every Han with military literacy should have set foot on the grassland north of the Great Wall, on the battlefield against the Huns' rangers...
"Humph!"

"It's really as Father said!"

"—If the Guandong is not peaceful, Master Wang will not be able to go north for a day!"

The tone was full of anger and let out a low growl, Liu Ying raised her hand without looking back.

"——When the battle is over, when the Gu class teacher returns to his life, Uncle must wake up to Gu, so that Gu can use the strategy of 'tweeting favor', and speak to the emperor face to face!"

"In addition, the Zuoguan Law, the Subsidy Law, the Party Law, etc., are all written down, and I will wake up in the future!!!"

Liu Ying said all the laws and regulations on restraining the separatist forces that could be thought of in her mind. Liu Ying still didn't seem to be satisfied. She was about to add something, but she heard a very deliberate light cough from behind her.

"Ok?"

Turning around, after seeing that the person behind her was not the expected uncle Lu Shi, Liu Ying's face suddenly showed a little embarrassment.

"Well······"

An embarrassing low moan finally provoked Wang Ling and Zhang Cang who had come to bow quickly and bow their hands to Liu Ying.

"My lord, I have seen Your Highness..."

Seeing that the two of them passed up the steps at such a timely manner, Liu Ying didn't hesitate much, but suddenly changed her expression, and stepped forward two steps solemnly.

"However, Marquis Qu Zhou has something to say, to entrust Marquis Anguo and Marquis Beiping to submit it to Yu Gu?"

Asking without changing her face, Liu Ying couldn't help letting go of her slightly suspended heart.

At this moment, Liu Ying is still in the turret next to the south gate of Yongcheng City, which is called "Visiting the War in Person to Invigorate the Army". In fact, it is the nature of watching the battle from a position with a wide view.

But unlike Liu Ying who only needs to show his face, put up the prince's banner, and tell the defenders to "fight side by side with you alone", Li Shang, as the actual commander of the army, is naturally at the moment when the soldiers are approaching the city, or even the decisive battle is imminent. There are many things to be busy.

Occasionally, I took some time to take a look at Liu Ying on the turret to make sure Liu Ying was safe, and to report to Liu Ying, which was fine.

But it would be unreasonable for Li Shang to follow Liu Ying all the time.

And this is why Liu Ying let go of her worries a little bit.

——The battle is imminent, and Li Shang will be on the front line to supervise the battle no matter what!

But even so, Li Shang's act of 'not coming in person, but asking someone to tell' clearly revealed the meaning of 'nothing important'.

Sure enough, Wang Ling and Zhang Cang, who were sent by Li Shang, brought news that was almost consistent with Liu Ying's guess.

"His Highness has eyes like torches."

When Wang Ling heard the words, he looked at Zhang Cang beside him with a strange expression, stood up, and bowed his hands to Liu Ying.

"Qu Zhouhou said: The time has passed, and the enemy returns from under the city wall again without success. If the enemy comes again, it will be the third attack after sunset today."

As he said that, Wang Ling couldn't help showing a stern look on his old face.

"Your Highness."

"Qu Zhouhou Yi, the outcome of this battle may be decided within three or two hours!"

Seeing Wang Ling for a moment, she put on a stern expression. Liu Ying couldn't help but straighten up a little, and nodded slowly to Wang Ling and Zhang Cang.

"Qu Zhouhou, do you have any good strategies to deal with the enemy, do you want to ask Gu to agree?"

Hearing that Liu Ying asked this question without beating around the bush, Wang Ling only nodded slightly with a serious face.

"Qu Zhouhou thinks that after the decisive battle, it is not appropriate to hold back."

"All the soldiers in the city, the guards, the young and strong Laofu, should climb the wall to meet the enemy; even if they are lightly wounded, but they can walk around without hindrance, they should draw their bows and throw them in the city to do their best!"

"Other······"

In the middle of speaking, Wang Ling stopped talking with a hesitant expression on his face. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Ying again, and then continued hesitantly: "Other..."

"Another Qu Zhou Houyi, Your Highness may be..."

"Uh······"

"Or when, when to patrol the city wall, to comfort the hearts of the guards..."

When he said this without confidence, Wang Ling seemed to be worried that Liu Ying would not agree, and hurriedly added: "There is danger on the vertical wall, and your highness may go to the city to encourage the wounded... "..."

Seeing Wang Ling's eyes full of hesitation, but also faintly expecting to say these words, Liu Ying was only slightly taken aback.

Patrolling the city wall, condolences to the soldiers?
For ordinary generals, and even Li Shang, the head coach of this counter-insurgency, similar things were commonplace.

——At this moment, the reason why Li Shang and Jin She are not by Liu Ying's side is to inspect the city wall and visit the front line of the battlefield in person, so as to 'bolster up' the defenders and observe the situation of the defense line more intuitively, so as to make a decision Targeted layout.

In the decisive battle that is about to break out in a while, it is not ruled out that these two people will also go into battle in person, and slash and kill on the wall with swords!

As for the moment, Zhang Cang and Wang Ling who were standing in front of Liu Ying, although there were not many traces of battle visible on their bodies, they were still dressed in military uniforms.

If it weren't for the battle of defending the city, the defenders' attack methods against the rebels outside the city were basically based on long-range crossbow shooting, and the armor and robes on the two of them might not be so clean.

As for Liu Ying, why didn't he walk around the city wall to let the defenders see him as Wang Ling said, or go to the wounded barracks in the city to visit the wounded...

"Uncle won't let it go, Li Shang won't let it go, Jin She won't let it go..."

"Don't let Gu go around except anyone, Gu..."

"It should be a little scary..."

Thinking secretly, Liu Ying finally admitted to herself the reality of 'I'm afraid'.

But what was different from what Liu Ying expected was that after admitting it, Liu Ying did not become more afraid because of it, nor did she feel that her cowardice could be justified from now on.

On the contrary, there was a burst of relief, accompanied by an increasingly strong sense of shame, welling up in Liu Ying's heart.

"The purpose of going out to suppress the rebellion on behalf of the father is to set up a brave character."

"If it comes to the decisive battle, Gu is still hiding in this small turret..."

Thinking like this, Liu Ying's gaze towards Wang Ling gradually became firmer.

What Liu Ying said next was deeply engraved in Wang Ling's mind, and he never forgot it throughout his life.

"Hey!"

"An Guohou's words are very lonely!!!"

With an excited expression, Liu Ying slapped her thigh suddenly, and immediately stepped forward regardless of her posture, and put her hand on Wang Ling's already somewhat bent back.

"An Guohou doesn't know something~"

"When going out alone, my mother gave repeated orders, not to be alone in danger."

"How can you stay away from the war and watch the generals use their fate?"

"Unfortunately, in the past, the Hou Jiancheng never left his side, and moved his tent to Qi County, and the Hou Jiancheng was quite critical; when he was trapped in the Yongcheng City, the Hou Jiancheng almost risked his life to remonstrate..."

While speaking, Liu Ying didn't stop, just hooked Wang Ling's shoulders and walked towards the city wall outside the turret.

And outside the turret and on the city wall, what awaited Liu Ying were her eyes widened by unimaginability, and her fiery gazes that lit up like dark flames...
