The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 166 The frightened Li Gan

Li Gan had never seen Wei Ning's performance on the frontal battlefield. As the son of the famous general Li Guang, Li Gan was young and energetic.

He didn't even pay attention to Wei Qing, and always believed that Wei Qing's victory in several key battles was just a matter of luck.

If you don't even like Wei Qing, how can you like Wei Ning?

Although the military in Chang'an was spreading rumors about Weining's monstrous exploits in Dingxiang, Li Gan still thought that the rumors were a bit miraculous and too unreal.

A man with a hundred cavalry held off a Huns army of ten thousand people. What is the difference between this and mythology?
He even suspected that Wei Ning and Wei Qing were related, and that Wei Qing was deliberately exaggerating Wei Ning's achievements.

Today outside Shouchun City, Li Gan was really not surprised when he saw Weining's heroic posture of charging alone. It could even be said that Li Gan was jealous of Weining.

"General."

A soldier rode towards the commander Li Gan on horseback and reported: "Marquis Wei has come to the battlefield. After entering the city, he went straight to the Huainan Prince's Mansion."

"Should we send troops to follow?"

Li Gan thought for a moment and asked, "Save him and go to the Huainan Prince's Mansion alone?"

"Yes!"

Li Gan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him! Keep pushing forward!"

"But……"

This soldier also wanted to say that after all, the Huainan Palace must have a large number of troops to defend it. If the Marquis of Wei rides over one by one, it will be more dangerous than good.

Li Gan stopped the other party's words and said: "He is not a member of our army. He comes to the battlefield without authorization. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with me. I am not responsible for his safety!"

It is best to die in the Huainan Palace.

Li Gan thought silently in his heart that from the bottom of his heart he did not want such a fierce general to live, because if he lived, it would mean that the Li family would never be able to succeed in the future.

Previously, they were overwhelmed by Wei Qing, and now Huo Qubing and Wei Ning are here. His Majesty has issued a military order, and Huo Qubing must be brought back.

But the battlefield is changing rapidly, so what if you can’t take it back?The most His Majesty can do is scold him.

As long as the counterinsurgency is successful, the merits and demerits will be equal to each other.

Now His Majesty has begun to be wary of Wei Qing. In the future, Wei Qing will no longer pose a threat to the Li family. The only ones who can threaten to overshadow the Li family are the two rising stars, Huo Qubing and Wei Ning.

Now it's fine, one was arrested, the other sought death, and none of them had anything to do with his Li family.

It would be best if they all died in the rebellion of King Huainan.

"According to orders!"

"Here!"

……

Huainan Palace.

One after another military reports continued to reach Liu An's ears from outside.

Liu An has waited too long for this war.

He had already made a foolproof plan, and he opened the city gate on purpose, just to allow all the Han soldiers from Guanzhong to enter Shouchun City, and then close the door to beat the dogs!

In the open area outside, Liu An was not sure. Even if his troops were too strong, they lacked horses.

Facing the more mobile Guanzhong troops, they had no advantage.

But it was different in the city. The imperial court's light and heavy cavalry could not exert any power in the town. Street fighting was their specialty.

"Report! Your Majesty, kill 300 enemies in Dongcheng!"

"Report! Kill 600 enemies in Xicheng!"

"Report! South City, Southeast, North City..." Reports of victory battles continued to come from outside, which made everyone in the palace feel confident.

The imperial court must have thought that Huainan's troops were weak, right?You must not have thought that this king has trained a tiger and wolf army in these years, right?

Liu An narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Liu Che's defeat was due to his willfulness, his fear of Wei Qing, and his contempt for this king!"

Sending a young boy to attack him might not be possible even if his father comes, let alone Li Gan?

Liu An naturally looked down on Li Gan. From the siege that started on the battlefield, to the siege, to the easy entry into the city, everything about Li Gan was calculated by Liu An.

He thought that fighting was about military strength?
I'm telling you, fighting is about the control of the battle situation. You and Wei Qing are miles apart!
If Wei Qing comes, Huainan King Liu An may still be afraid.

A commander like Wei Qing who has been on the battlefield for a long time knows how to control and make strategic plans.

Wei Qing's military strategy is most vividly reflected in Wei Qing's character.

In Liu An's view, this first battle is crucial. It is a battle to stabilize the morale of the army. If he wins, he will be promoted all the way. If he loses, he may have to pay the price with his life.

But fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty underestimated the enemy and was afraid of Wei Qing, so he won!

Yes, Liu An believed that the battlefield was all under control, and he wanted to eat this group of elite Guanzhong soldiers.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not dare to mobilize the northern border troops. Unless the country's survival was at stake, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not easily mobilize the troops there.

Once there is any trouble among the soldiers in northern Xinjiang, it will cause a huge chain reaction. You must know that there are Huns outside the Great Wall who are eyeing the Han Dynasty's frontier.

As long as this group of Guanzhong soldiers is eaten by Liu An, he can conquer the entire southern Han Dynasty without any scruples. No matter how difficult it is, he can divide the river and rule with the Han Dynasty to form a north-south separatist regime.

"Report!"

At this time, a soldier hurriedly walked in again.

Liu An said calmly: "Where did you win again?"

"Report! Your Majesty, a soldier from the Han Dynasty has broken through our encirclement and is heading towards the palace."

what?
Liu An looked at the other party in shock, as if he thought he heard wrongly, and asked uncertainly: "You said...a soldier? One?!"

This is so funny!What a joke!
"is a!"

Liu An laughed and said, "A soldier broke through the encirclement? Or did you let him in on purpose?"

"No, it's not the king. He actually broke through our encirclement. He...he is really too fierce."

The encirclement of thousands of people was in vain in front of him. He was covered in thick armor, and so were the horses on his crotch. He was like a tireless monster, galloping at lightning speed, charging all the way. Wherever the spear in his hand touched, there was almost no grass.

"fart!"

Liu An shouted.

Outside the palace, noisy shouts of killing came. Liu An stood up suddenly, swallowed, and asked, "What happened outside?"

……

Outside Shouchun City.

Li Gan was now sweating on his forehead, and his whole body was dripping with sweat.

He never expected that there were more than 3 troops and 3000 people excluding the baggage.

Tens of thousands of soldiers entered the city, and reports of defeats were coming in one after another. More than 2000 soldiers had been lost since the war began, and no results had been achieved.

How can this be?

Li Gan swallowed his saliva. In his opinion, the war was almost certain to be won. How did it end up like this?
Why does a small vassal king have such a strong fighting power?
He issued a military order in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He took Shouchun within half a month. Half the time has passed since setting off.

It was originally intended to be a quick victory, but who knew that now the war was not won, but more than 2000 soldiers were sacrificed.
