Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 240 Everything is under control

The official was so frightened that he almost knelt down.

Gongsun He Tie asked with a livid face: "Aren't there tens of thousands of troops around the king? How come there are only a few thousand following him all of a sudden? What's going on? Explain everything!"

The official raised his hand tremblingly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with cupped hands: "We don't know what the specific situation is. The people we sent out to rescue have no way of figuring out what it is. Condition.

As for why there are only so many people around the king, it is said that when he was ambushed before, the people around the king were scattered. "

"Dispersed?" Gongsun He's face was so dark that it dripped water: "Could it be that these people have surrendered to the enemy and the South Vietnamese country?"

"General, I really don't know. I just got some general information that these people have retreated to the mountains and forests to hide. There is also a theory that they have been killed by the savages from South Vietnam..."

The man swallowed with a gulp, looked at Gongsun He fearfully, and then looked at Li Huan cautiously.

"Okay, from now on, we will do our best to supervise the construction of warships. Anyone who dares to be careless about this matter will be punished by the heads hanging on the big banner outside the house."

"Here!"

All the officials bowed their hands together and retreated as if they had been pardoned.

For a moment, only Gongsun He and Han Yan were left in the entire lobby, and both of them couldn't help but look at Li Huan, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Master Marquis, our goal should have been achieved, right?" Han Yan narrowed her eyes and asked with a half-smile.

Gongsun He laughed and said: "This is certain. There are only a few thousand people in Qiu Mountain, and they are divided into the left and right sides. Think about it, it is definitely impossible, but..."

He looked at Li Huan, turned around and sat down: "Where are our people? Where have the other 1-odd troops gone? Is there really something going on?"

"No." Han Yan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Master Hou has quietly compiled the trilogy of the generals around Li Guang into another army. Don't forget that Li Guang is the best What kind of battle are you fighting?”

"Defensive war?" Gongsun He laughed loudly: "So, do we have a way to contact another army now?"

Han Yan smiled and looked at Li Huan.

Li Huan looked as usual: "Gongsun He, you immediately put up a notice and tell the whole city that our army is recruiting workers to build ships because we don't have enough warships. You must tell us that our army has no way to go south for rescue and is extremely short of ships."

"Order!"

Gongsun He did not pursue his doubts and immediately accepted the order and retreated.

Li Huan thought for a moment and then said: "Han Yan, you immediately mobilize four thousand elite navy troops and raise enough rations for each person to carry for three days. The army will quietly leave the water stronghold at two o'clock the day after tomorrow and go south along the Han River to defeat the thieves. The battle only lasts day and night!"

Han Yan looked at Li Huan in surprise, as if she wanted to say that this was the end?
But he immediately came to his senses, stood up and held his hands in his hands, saying: "I accept my order!"

Seeing that Han Yan was about to leave, Li Huan stopped him again: "Remember, everything must be kept confidential, and nothing can be leaked. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

Han Yan's face turned pale slightly, but she didn't expect that Li Huan was the first to say these words to her.

"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I know this."

Suddenly, Li Huan was the only one in the empty lobby.

Li Huan stood up and walked slowly, as if he wanted to go to the backyard, but he stopped when he thought of something.

It was as if he knew who would come to report some news to him.

Sure enough, people came.

A man with dark skin, blue complexion, ragged clothes, but bright eyes appeared in front of Li Huan.

Li Huan recognized it. This was one of his tribesmen in Anyang County.

Hmm... to be precise, it should be a clan member whose surname was changed from Chen to Li, a foreigner of the Li clan in Anyang County. "How is the situation?" Li Huan seemed to be mentally preparing.

"Reporting to the head of the family, Huainan King Liu An and Prince Liu Qian, after learning the wrong news, led their troops to break out. Liu An was shot to death by random arrows on the spot. Prince Liu Qian fell into the water and was rescued. He encountered a Baiyue people who were good at diving. During a sneak attack, the men touched the warship, cut off an arm, and were stabbed three times on the body, with their intestines flowing out. When the subordinates left and came back to report the news, they were already dying."

Li Huan was silent for a while and then said: "That means he can't survive."

This clansman nodded and said: "The master of the family will not survive. The thousands of people on the prison mountain may not be able to endure it and will surrender to the Baiyue people..."

"Don't worry, the army will go out soon. You have made great achievements this time. After the war, I will write down all of your names. In the future, whether it is the distribution of land or the granting of official positions, it will be fair and just."

"I don't dare. It is our honor to share the family master's worries." The Li clan members looked at Li Huan with great excitement.

Li Huan smiled slightly: "Go and have a good rest. When we go out to fight, you will lead the way for us."

"Here!"

After the man left, Li Huan called the guard: "Arrange some beauties for him. This is the treatment he deserves."

"Here!"

Li Huan was still waiting, the most trusted guard, and saw that in one afternoon, there were all kinds of people coming in and out to see the Marquis.

There were people dressed as fishermen in tattered clothes, women with dark skin, and even some elderly people...

Although these guards who were closest to Li Huan did not know what orders the Marquis had given, they knew very well that the Marquis had already secured victory in this battle.

Dusk fell on the earth, and Li Huan saw the beautiful scenery of falling clouds, solitary swans flying together, and autumn water forming the same color as the sky.

However, Liu Ling hid behind the screen and shed tears...

Throughout the afternoon, Li Huan listened to everyone she met and everything they talked about.

More than ten waves of people confirmed the news that Huainan King Liu An had died in the battle, and Huainan Prince Liu Qian would not survive. He had started to have a high fever, fell into a coma, and could not wake up no matter how he screamed.

In the follow-up news, these thousands of soldiers who were about to collapse learned that the God of War Anyanghou had arrived in Yuzhang, and they rekindled their fighting spirit.

The so-called false news was that Li Huan's reinforcements had arrived and were hiding in the mountains. Liu An, relying on the advantage of the terrain and the mediation of the South Vietnamese army, cheered up and led his troops down the mountain to counterattack. Then they discovered that it was a trap. Arrows fell like rain. Liu An relied on his thick armor. , and was finally shot into a hedgehog...

Li Huan estimated that this person should have been shocked to death rather than shot to death.

King Huainan's armor was specially designed by him, with leather armor on the inside and iron armor on the outside.

There is a position on the armor where the rope opening is used to fix all the armors. With one pull, the left and right sides of the armor can be separated.

In other words, if Liu An falls into the water while wearing such armor, he can pull the armor free by stretching out his hand and pulling the rope at this location, and he will not sink directly to the bottom of the water.

In other words, this kind of armor is so strong that even if you are shot into a hedgehog, you may not die, but you will definitely be shocked to death.

Well, Li Huan originally designed this kind of armor for himself... He still couldn't trust the protective power of leather armor...

Liu Qian was stabbed three times and his intestines leaked out. He was wearing rhinoceros skin armor.

Although Li Huan also knew how strong the rhinoceros leather armor was, the fact was that Liu Qian's armor was broken and two-thirds of his body was hacked to death.

Just leave the remaining one-third to time.

"Okay, don't cry. Don't you know the ending very well?"
