back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 830 Unstoppable
"What, 20 Han troops have already passed Liangzhou?"

Li Rizun broke out in a cold sweat when he first heard the news in the palace.

"Where is the grand master, where is the grand master?"

Li Rizun was at a loss, he was in a mess now.Although all the armies of Cochin combined, there may be 60 people.But those state shepherds and chiefs were all as fine as ghosts. Seeing that Li Chao had no power to fight back, how could they hang himself on Li Chao's tree?As expected, they will definitely support themselves and wait and see in secret.It is not possible to make a decision until the situation is clear.

Although doing so can't win a lot of wealth, it can keep one's own strength, which is also good.

You must know that in some prefectural cities, when they heard that Lu Chenhuan led the army, they had no intention of resisting at all. Instead, they respectfully offered food and grass, and promised that they would never send a single soldier to the court, so as to avoid the disaster. .

With people's hearts so scattered, where can Li Rizun mobilize his troops?The army loyal to the Li Dynasty was beaten less and less; there may have been 30 at first, but under the gradual erosion of Fatty Lu, it is estimated that there are more than 20 left.In addition, these soldiers, who are called elite soldiers, are actually many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. There are only a few hundred thousand who can really be called Li Rizun's direct troops.

Now Dashun's troops crushed the Jiaozhi army in terms of quality; they were almost evenly matched in numbers.Li Rizun asked himself, what can he use to contend? The hearts and minds of the 700 million Cochin households?Li Rizun never dared to bet. Over the years, the Li Dynasty has been aggressive and the policy of ignoring the people has made it very smooth. Many people in Jiaozhi were kept in the dark, and they were willing to serve in the army and act as the vanguard on the road of expanding the land of Jiaozhi.

It is true that a small number of people stand out and achieve high positions.But more people died on the battlefield, and even the corpses could not be found.

For more than 50 years since the founding of the Li Dynasty, many sons and sons have died in the southern and northern wars.But there are very few people who have become high officials by virtue of their military exploits.The people of Cochin are not fools, they have been fooled by you so many times, will they continue to be fools?

That's why Lu Chenhuan preached how happy the people of Dashun are, how low the tax rate is, and why the people of Cochin were so fascinated and wanted to become the people of Dashun.

Living in Jiaozhi, farmers who plan food from the ground cannot even get enough food and clothing throughout the year. They have to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, go to the river to catch fish, and go hunting in the mountains to barely fill their stomachs.Fortunately, in Cochin, there are many mountains and rivers, so the people of Cochin can barely eat. There are no major droughts, locust plagues, snowstorms, etc. The only threat is floods.If the people in Dashun had lived like this, they would have risen up long ago.

The food is still delicious from other people's homes. I heard that the people of Dashun live such a happy life. How can the people of Cochin not yearn for it?
After Lu Chenhuan said, this Jiaozhi was originally a part of the Central Plains Dynasty, but taking advantage of the war in the previous dynasty, Jiaozhi took the opportunity to break away from the control of the Central Plains Dynasty and established a country on its own.In this way, many Jiaozhi people firmly believe that they were also Han people.Although due to Li Chao's indistinct, almost extinction-like majesty, he dared not speak out, but in his heart, he might have long fantasized about how to live a life of adequate food and clothing after becoming a commoner in Dashun.

How could such people be united with the imperial court?

Li Rizun was so worried that it was just because of this.In fact, he is not afraid that Shenglong City will be destroyed again, what he is afraid of is that in the future, the people of Jiaozhi will not have Li Chao in their eyes.If there are all such people in the Li Dynasty, how will Li Rizun manage the country well in the future?The Han people will go back after all, but they have made the people of Jiaozhi so smart, who will trust the court in the future?

Li Rizun still wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't know that he seemed to be the emperor to the end.

After Dashun's 20 imperial troops set up a battle in Langzhou, the governor of Langzhou hesitated for a long time, and then opened the door to surrender.At this point, the Han army opened the north gate of Jiaozhi without a single soldier, so that they can attack when they advance and defend when they retreat.The importance of Liangzhou's geographical location is self-evident for Jiaozhi and Dashun.

One day later, Zhe Kexing led more than 20 cavalry soldiers into the [-] Dashun Forbidden Army.On the same day, the Imperial Army made a surprise attack on Jiaozhi Taiyuan Mansion, and broke the city in less than half a day; on the next day, they crossed the Beijiang River and destroyed Jian'an Mansion.So far, it is equivalent to conquering the entire northern city of Jiaozhi. Shenglong City where Li Rizun is located is just like when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was trapped in Gaixia, besieged on all sides, and there was no room for strategic turnover.The forbidden army is unstoppable, and Pei Mo, the cochin army, can't resist.Often, in a face-to-face meeting, the elite imperial army can defeat the Cochin army, which is equal in number or even far exceeds its own, and retreats steadily, and finally fails.

You know, the western and southern parts of Cochin have been swept away by Lu Chenhuan long ago, taking away all the food, supplies, and weapons that could be taken, and burning everything that could not be taken.Li Rizun was trapped in Shenglong City, how could he still be majestic?
In the next two days, Zou You, the artillery instructor, led 20 new warships to join the [-] army, preparing to advance by water and take directly to Shenglong City.This time, he vowed to surround Shenglong City and prevent Li Rizun from having another chance to escape.

In fact, if Li Rizun wanted to leave, he could still leave in the first two days.At that time, Fatty Lu didn't know that reinforcements were coming, and he still insisted on taking down the city, so he quickly changed his plan to attack another target.Two days later, Fatty Lu had 20 reinforcements arrive, and his waist stiffened immediately: "I'm here to drink soup while others are eating meat? How can there be such a reason!"

He didn't ask Yang Wenguang, the coach of the Southern Expedition, for instructions, so he hurried back from Yanzhou Road.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, when Li Rizun learned that Shenglong City was besieged, it happened that Lu Chenhuan led more than [-] infantry to the south gate of Shenglong City.

Li Rizun hurriedly wanted to leave the city, but was blocked by Fatty Lu.

In a hurry, Li Rizun ordered a fierce attack.

In Shenglong City, there are still [-] Jiaozhi troops, all of whom are elite soldiers.

Fatty Lu has only [-] soldiers and horses, and he has to defend the city on three sides, which is obviously powerless.

Although a lot of enemies were wiped out, the defense line was already riddled with holes, and there were also many casualties.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yang Wenguang led an army to arrive (in fact, it was only a few cavalry, there were only ten thousand horses, most of them were soldiers and horses led by Zhe Kexing), and after a while of fighting, the Jiaozhi army saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and their morale immediately lost Exhausted, no longer has the vigor to break out, can only choose the cat in Shenglong City, despite yelling and scolding, he still refuses to fight.

"General Lu, I've admired your name for a long time, but now we're only meeting each other, it's too late to meet you!"
