Xuande

Chapter 332
Facing the latest trend of the Han army, it is not that Zhang Yan and others have tried to break the situation, but the effect is not very good.

They sent troops to take the initiative to attack many times, even provoked the Han army, insulted the Han army, yelled and cursed repeatedly, and forced the Han army to fight.

But it was of no use.

The Han army in front of them seemed determined to engage in tortoise tactics, either to delay or not to fight, and to consume them.

They attacked, the Han army defended, they retreated, but the Han army did not pursue them, and they pretended to retreat, but the Han army pretended not to see it.

From top to bottom, collectively carry out the strategy of pretending to be a turtle to the end.

As a result, Zhang Yan and others began to feel that something was wrong.

Zhang Yan had studied, had some insight, and was somewhat talented. Faced with this situation, he was keenly aware of the unfavorable factors.

"The Han army sticks to the city and does not attack, and our army is not good at siege. Once the Han army is dragged into a siege battle, our army's losses will rise sharply, and the food consumption will be very large. It’s winter, and if we run out of food at this moment, when winter comes, people will starve to death.”

Zhang Yan sighed and looked at Mrs. Guo and Yu Fuluo.

"Return to Beijing to report on your work? Is this necessary?"

Yu Fuluo dropped a word and said that he was leaving.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "No one of our clansmen in the Han Dynasty has ever been able to get a real inheritance from this group of scholars with high-sighted eyes. Xuande has made a good start, and our Han clan children can also formally intervene in it." In the midst of academic disputes, words have weight.

Before leaving, Zhang Yan persuaded Mrs. Guo one last time.

"Xuande said that he wants to return to Beijing to report on his duties."

"I moved from the Central Plains to fight here. I have almost lost my life. Life and death have long been taken lightly. The only thing I want to do now is to let the emperor of Han in Luoyang City die! No matter how much the price is!"

Liu Bei wants to run a school in Liangzhou to comfort people's hearts, and his status as the inheritor of the Zuo family's Spring and Autumn Period will help him further stabilize his status in Liangzhou.

After they left, Mrs. Guo quickly ordered the army to continue to attack Wenxi County, trying to break through the Han army's defense line, and continued to go south to threaten Luoyang.

Liu Hong picked up a grape in front of him and brought it to his mouth, chewing happily.

In this way, how many soldiers and horses can we have to continue the attack?Not to mention that the Han army on the banks of the Yellow River must have divided up and defended, and there must be a large number of Han troops waiting for us inside and outside Luoyang City. We did threaten Luoyang, but it was limited to this. "

And if he can set up a school to teach in Liangzhou, then the people of Liangzhou will also be grateful for the kindness of the Han family, and Liangzhou can also be stabilized. One thing can bring so many benefits, Xuande really deserves to be my good friend Zuo ah. "

Yu Fuluo didn't want to say anything more.

But if a group of Liangzhou people appear in Liu Bei's disciples and disciple system, is this a good thing or a bad thing for Liu Bei?

"Things have come to this point, I still have a lot of things to do. Although I really want to continue, I have to leave. If there is a good opportunity in the future, I will work together to plan big things."

Seeing that Mrs. Guo was determined, Zhang Yan had no choice but to nod, leaving some food and supplies for Mrs. Guo, and then slowly withdrew his troops back to Taiyuan County.

At the same time, Liu Bei's second personal letter was delivered to Luo Yang, and delivered directly to Liu Hong through Zhang Rang's delivery. Liu Hong opened it and looked at it, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

Only Mrs. Guo was unwilling to stop there.

"As long as it is possible, I don't want to stop fighting here, but the Han army is now divided into troops to defend the cities, and each city is a garrison. We must either fight one by one, or we have to detour, and divide the troops to surround the city. The army threatens our retreat.

"Your suggestion may be right, but I didn't think about leaving a way out for myself. How can I forget the bloody enmity between the great virtuous teachers and the Taiping Taoists? I can't forget, I have to fight, I will never admit defeat!"

Zhang Yan shook her head.

The stronger you are, the more bargaining power you have.

He quickly took away the Southern Huns cavalry in the rebel alliance. The reason was that facing the tortoise formation of the Han army, the cavalry was weak and weak, and it was meaningless to continue fighting.

"Look at it."

Zhang Yan didn't want to stay here any longer and spend money and food. He planned to withdraw his troops and return to Taiyuan County, slowly digesting his spoils and making himself stronger.

"That's a good thing."

Yu Fuluo was originally the Shanyu of the Southern Huns who was temporarily raised up, and he didn't really want to continue fighting. He also had a lot of things to do, so he agreed with Zhang Yan's opinion.

You underestimated life and death, but I did not underestimate life and death!
They don't want to play with the Han army here. If they do this, they will easily lose their lives by accident.

"The bloody revenge of the great virtuous and good teacher has not yet been avenged. The sky is not dead, and the yellow sky is on the verge of collapse. I can't bear this situation. Besides, if this great opportunity is missed now, when will the next time be? You two, you can't miss it." Great opportunity!"

Even from a national point of view, the school-running action of a classic inheritor in Liangzhou is conducive to strengthening Liangzhou's centripetal force to the Han Empire and is conducive to the stability of the Han Empire's rule in Liangzhou.

At the same time that Liu Hong received the letter, Lu Zhi also received a letter from Liu Bei. The letter talked about Zuo's Spring and Autumn inheritance, and Lu Zhi understood it.

There is only one life, it is precious, who wants to die if you can live?
Can't risk my life!

"He wants to come back to inherit?"

Liu Hong handed the letter to Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang took it, looked at it briefly, and was a little surprised.

From Liu Bei's personal point of view, this will directly establish his position in the Confucian classics system, and the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County will officially establish a sect.

Afterwards, Liu Hong decided to cooperate with Liu Bei and ordered Liu Bei to return to Luoyang to report on his duties, and it just so happened that he needed Liu Bei to give him on-the-spot advice in the current crisis in Hedong County.

Mrs. Guo lowered her head and gritted her teeth, clenched her hands tightly, with an expression of refusal to admit defeat.

Xuande means to get the inheritance, and then formally start recruiting students, prepare to teach the inheritance, and build Liu's influence. I think this is a very good thing. Tsk tsk, scholars who are interested in the Han Dynasty must maintain the Han Dynasty Taxi people, how fresh.

Zhang Rang felt strange: "He only needs to send the chief planner to come. Why does he have to come to Luoyang himself? It takes a lot of time to go back and forth."

Mrs. Guo thought for a while, and was a little moved, but still shook her head.

"Let's withdraw our troops. It is already a great victory to capture Taiyuan County. After we tidy up Taiyuan County and take away the property of those corrupt officials, this winter will not be so hard. The battle is worth it."

"You have less than 2 troops now. If you stay here, the Han army will learn that they are likely to attack you. At that time, your situation will be very bad. Why don't you go to Taiyuan with me now? Take care of each other, don't you?"

It just so happened that with Guo Taiding in front, he didn't have to worry about whether the Han army would come to pursue him when he retreated, and he retreated very calmly.

Zhang Yan looked at Yu Fuluo, and Yu Fuluo looked at Zhang Yan, the thoughts in their hearts coincided with each other——

Although the Ancient Literature School did not turn against Liangzhou to the point of bewilderment, and their views on Liangzhou were generally not as extreme as the Modern Literature School, their attitude towards Liangzhou people was obviously not that good either.

Since the Han-Qiang War, the fact that Liangzhou people have second-class citizenship has existed, and the "tradition" of more than 100 years cannot be changed so easily.

Liu Bei wants to accept people from Liangzhou, which in Lu Zhi's view is certainly something worth encouraging, but it is open to discussion.

Just later, when Lu Zhi learned that Liu Hong was going to call Liu Bei back to Beijing to report on his work, he was very happy and felt that he could discuss some details with Liu Bei on this issue.
