I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 356 We bet that the useless emperor who wants to be a benevolent emperor would not dare to kill anyone in Chang'an! (Please subscribe)

At midnight on November 22, Fan Mingyou's troops and Tian Guangming's troops divided their forces in Lingwu County.

Fan Mingyou's 3 men will carry [-] days of food and grass and quickly drive straight towards Chang'an.

In Beidi County, they had to pass through Lian County and Fuping first.

Then, you will enter Anding County and go south, passing through Sanshui, Gaoping, Anwu and other counties.

Further back, you can enter Zuofufeng and reach Qixian County.

More than a hundred miles behind Qixian County is Chang'an City.

If the whole journey goes well, it can be completed in twelve or thirteen days.

Subtracting the time it took for the post roads to convey military information, the crazy emperor in Chang'an City only had eleven or two days to react after learning the news from Lingwu City.

On the [-]th and [-]nd, the stupid emperor who did not know how to fight was completely powerless.

When he started to attack the city two days ago, Fan Mingyou sent someone to send Huo Guang a secret letter, which fully explained the strategy of "Qingjun Side".

Regardless of whether the general wants it or not, this letter will force the general to cooperate with them inside and outside.

With the general confusing the situation and secretly restricting things in Chang'an City, whether the emperor wants to touch their relatives or recruit an army, it will not go smoothly.

Tian Guangming's 4 troops will also move south with a few days of newly acquired food and grass in Lingwu City.

Every time they arrived at a city, they would divide their troops into groups of five thousand and plunder and besiege the city.

The two groups of men and horses cooperated with each other in a hurry and attacked Chang'an.

This is the wishful thinking of Fan Mingyou and others.

……

In this way, under the instigation and planning of a few people like Fan Mingyou, the [-] Han troops who went to the north of the Great Wall became a rebel army in a daze.

The news that "[-] troops entered the 'Qingjun Side' of Chang'an City" quickly spread southward along with the people who escaped from Lingwu County.

For a time, the officials and people in Beidi and Anding counties were panicked and panicked.

However, before they could figure out where to flee, rebels from two groups came one after another.

Fan Mingyou's troops, who arrived first, "did not commit any crimes in autumn" and passed directly with troops; Tian Guangming's troops, who arrived later, had a lot to ask for and looting occurred from time to time.

Because the army had just been launched, military discipline had not been completely abolished, and although there were casualties among the people, they had not yet reached the point of hell on earth.

But war is war after all, and the northern part of Beidi County and the northeastern part of Anding County were completely in chaos.

On November 24, Tian Guangming's troops besieged Lian County. Two days later, the city was defeated. The county magistrate and county captain died in the city, and more than a thousand soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded.

On November 26, Tian Guangming's troops besieged Fuping County. Three days later, the city was defeated. The county magistrate and county captain died in the city, and more than [-] soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded.

Tian Guangming's troops followed Fan Mingyou's troops in this way. Every time they reached a city, they would leave 5000 troops to surround the city and attack it, slowly swallowing it up.

This strategy was very effective, and the rebels quickly took control of the cities in Anding and Beidi counties.

……

On November 26, when Tian Guangming's troops surrounded Sanshui County, Fan Mingyou's troops had already arrived outside Sanshui City.

As before, Fan Mingyou only sent an envoy to symbolically send a letter of persuasion to surrender to the Sanshui County magistrate.

In this letter of persuasion to surrender, Fan Mingyou reiterated the righteousness of "clearing the emperor's side" and ordered him to surrender to Tian Guangming's troops.

Then, he ordered [-] troops to be stationed outside Sanshui City.

In the past few days, Fan Mingyou's troops did not stop for a long time on the road. They said they were setting up camp every day, but in fact they just set up the camp hastily.

But there is no need to worry about someone attacking at night, because Anding and Beidi counties simply cannot send out soldiers to compete with them.

At You hour on this day, in the Chinese army's tent, Fan Mingyou made arrangements for his subordinate captains for tomorrow's march and then sent them away.

Nowadays, the morale of the [-]-strong army is still good, but Fan Mingyou still dare not be careless and asks the school lieutenant and the envoy to protect the army with his private troops to suppress and monitor everywhere.

The means of coercion and inducement must be used in turn, and every method must be used to stabilize the morale of the military.

The others left one after another, and only Huo Yu and Huo Yun were left in the big tent.

Without outsiders, there are fewer worries when speaking.

"Tian Guangming's troops have surrounded Fuping County and can reach Sanshui in three days. The urgent need for food and grass has been alleviated, which is pretty much what we expected."

After hearing this, Huo Yu and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"At the current marching speed..."

"Four days later, our troops will reach Anwu, and Tian Guangming's troops will reach Sanshui..."

"Seven days later, our troops will reach Qixian, and Tian Guangming's troops will reach Anwu..." "In this way, the distance between our troops and Tian Guangming's troops will be only three to four hundred miles at most, so there should be no major problem in the final response."

The two armies echo each other from a distance and can reinforce each other even if there is an accident.

This [-]-strong army is like a dragon.

The tail is in Lingwu County, and the head and mouth are in Sanshui.

The scattered troops in the middle are the dragon's body, entrenched from north to south at the border of Anding and Beidi counties.

This situation was extremely smooth.

Along the way, although the gates of each city were not opened, there were bowls of food and wine to welcome the righteous army.

However, there was not much resistance - these cities could only gather a thousand soldiers. No matter how loyal they were to the emperor, they would not dare to provoke these [-] troops.

Fan Mingyou did not dare to have too much extravagant hopes, as long as these county magistrates and captains did not come out to cause trouble; he would capture them after Tian Guangming arrived.

"After passing Qixian, we can reach Chang'an in two days." Huo Yu said to himself.

Arriving at Chang'an City, a fierce battle was inevitable.

"Yes, starting from today, in nine days, we will arrive in Chang'an." Fan Mingyou nodded.

For a moment, the Chinese army tent fell into silence. Now that we have reached this point, there is no turning back.

One step forward leads to life, one step back leads to death.

"Our army lacks the equipment to attack the city. What should we do?" Huo Yun asked.

When attacking Lingwu, Huoshan suffered a big loss because he had no siege equipment.

The walls of Chang'an City were not comparable to Lingwu, so Huo Yun naturally felt a headache.

"This matter is not difficult. Qixian County is a big county. There are workshops for making ladders and battering rams. And the county magistrate is a member of my Zuojun Alliance. If I write a letter, he will definitely open the city gate."

Huo Yu answered Huo Yun's question complacently. He and Fan Mingyou had already discussed this matter, but they just hadn't said it out yet.

Qixian County belongs to Zuo Fengyi and is the northeastern gateway of Chang'an City.

By capturing Qixian County, you can not only obtain siege equipment, but also obtain food and grass supplies.

Although the food and grass in the army are enough to support them to Chang'an City, if they can get supplements, it will still be of great help to stabilize the morale of the army.

There are soldiers, food, and ladders... Chang'an City seems to be within easy reach.

What's more, in addition to these, they also have internal agents.

"Two days ago, father should have received the secret message we sent, right?" Huo Yu asked himself.

"Well, I'm afraid the county magistrate has also received the military information that we want to 'clear the emperor's side'." Fan Mingyou said.

In the Chinese military tent, it suddenly became quiet again, and a few people showed a very rare trace of sadness on their faces.

No matter how heroic and free they say now, it seems that victory is just around the corner.

But they had to face one thing. Their relatives were all in Chang'an City.

Although Fan Mingyou and others did not know how much military power the emperor had, let alone whether the general Huo Guang could control the emperor.

However, Huo Guang, Huo Dang, or relatives of the Huo family... were all put under the guillotine by Fan Mingyou and others.

Maybe the city of Chang'an has already flowed into rivers of blood, with heads rolling in.

They are careerists, but they are still human beings after all. They are still a little heartbroken when they think that all their relatives may have been killed.

"Don't worry, the general is still a general. The Zhongbao Colonel and Zhi Jinwu are also loyal to the junior general. They should be able to protect the general and my family members."

"Besides, the county magistrate is crazy and wants to be a benevolent king every day, so he might not dare to take action."

"Don't forget, he has never killed anyone since he took the throne. Maybe he doesn't dare to kill anyone at all, and is as cowardly as Emperor Xiaohui!"

As expected of Fan Mingyou, who was a little older and had seen more big scenes, he thought he had "exposed" the county magistrate's cowardice in just a few words.

"Exactly! A few people died when the Confucian scholars made trouble before, but the county magistrate actually wanted to redeem their punishments. How unkind!" Huo Yu said with a mocking look on his face.

"The young general's words make sense. I'm afraid the county magistrate wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken!" Huo Yun, who was so fat that his eyes were slits, said disdainfully.

As the night progressed, several people in the Chinese army's tent said many disrespectful words towards the emperor. They all thought they could see through the emperor.

It's just that they don't know yet, just because Renjun doesn't mean he won't kill people.
