Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 66: Raise the world and save me (2)

Looking at the tall walls of Wancheng in the distance under the night, Liu Yan was very angry.

After the battle of Huang Chunshui, Liu Yan's reputation suddenly soared into the sky. There is no talk within the Chongling Army, but whether it is the Green Forest Army or the Pinglin Xiajiang Army, all the soldiers were passed down by word of mouth. In that battle, Liu Yan, Chongling, led two thousand people to defeat the 100,000 army.

In addition to Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, Wang Chang, the leader of Xiajiang soldiers, Cheng Dan, and Chen Mu and Liao Zhan, the leader of Pinglin soldiers, also expressed their respect to Liu Yan in private.

These two rebel armies did not have much ambition to compete for the world. They were originally just a group of disaster victims who wanted to survive. For them, Liu Yan's leadership aura made them feel more at ease.

What's more, Liu Yan's identity as a royal family member in the previous dynasty was a big sign.

In addition to the many conflicts with Wang Kuang and Wang Feng before, they tend to be more inclined to Liu Yan in their position.

However, all this was naturally seen by Wang Kuang and Wang Feng.

Before entering Wancheng, they found a royal family named Liu Xuan from somewhere. Relying on the strongest troops under their command, they forced everyone to take Liu Xuan as the co-leader. Whether it was Xiajiang or Pinglin, they both officially became part of the Green Forest Army, just like the Chongling Army. Liu Xuan also ascended the throne as the emperor with the support of Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, and his reign was Gengshi.

Liu Yan, who is also a royal family member, is still just a general under the Green Forest Army. Even though he was named a general, the only one he could actually mobilize was the Chongling Army that had been following him since then.

However, what Liu Yan couldn't stand the most was that his younger brother A Xiu was actually taken to attack Kunyang.

Liu Yan naturally saw clearly what Wang Kuang and Wang Feng thoughts. Their goal was to use their younger brother as a hostage to ensure that they would not have any abnormal movements.

Moreover, this move did capture Liu Yan's weakness. Even if he was determined to rebel, he would never risk losing his brother.

Liu Yan could only send Li Tong and Ren Guang to Liu Xiu to take care of his integrity. He left only Liu Ji by his side. Even in order to make Wang Kuang and Wang Feng feel at ease, all the Chongling Army followed Liu Xiu to Kunyang.

Only in this way can Liu Yan feel a little more at ease.

After the news of Kunyang's capture came, Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, as long as you can capture Wancheng and then go north to join forces with Kunyang's division, you can head directly towards Chang'an.

"Wait for me, Ah Xiu."

Liu Yan said softly to Wancheng in front of him.

...

"Young Master, emergency military information."

Li Tong hurried into Liu Xiu's room, with a rare look of worry on his face.

This is in Kunyang City. After capturing this city, Liu Xiu was assigned to a small house. Wancheng in the southwest has not been captured yet, so Liu Xiu has lived a very relaxed and freehand life over the past period of time.

But when Liu Xiu's heart sank at the sight of Li Tong, who always had a cynical smile on his face, he looked worried.

"Wancheng...what happened to my brother?" Liu Xiu quickly stood up and asked hurriedly.

"No, it's not Wancheng." Li Tong shook his head: "In the north, the reinforcements mobilized by Xinmang are here."

"How many?" Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that something was wrong with his brother. He also knew very well that the troops sent to Wancheng were already the last soldiers in Chang'an. Even if they were mobilized again, it would not be a big number.

"Four...more than 400,000..." Li Tong couldn't help but tremble when he said this number.

"You...what did you say?!" Liu Xiu was shocked and grabbed Li Tong's hand: "Li Tong! Are you kidding!"

"I also hope I'm joking..." Li Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But I have sent three waves of scouts, with only a few more... The new army of more than 400,000, led by Wang Yi and Wang Xun, will arrive at the city of Kunyang in three days."

"This is impossible! Where did Wang Mang get so many troops? Chang'an is almost an empty city! What do you say about Wang Feng?" Liu Xiu shook his head, still unable to believe this fact.

A knock came from outside the door: "General Taichang, General Chengguo Shanggong, please go to the meeting hall to discuss the emergency military situation! Please leave immediately!"

The general of Taichang was Liu Xiu's official position. Chengguo Shanggong was Wang Feng, the commander of all the Green Forest Army in Kunyang City. However, this was just a nice name. Liu Xiu's Chongling Army had only more than 3,000 people, and Wang Feng, the Chengguo Shanggong, held the entire Green Forest Army in Kunyang, in his hand, and there were only more than 10,000 people.

"I know, let's go now." Liu Xiu looked at Li Tong, and a trace of fear flashed in both of them at the same time.

Wang Feng summoned him to discuss military information so urgently, so it seems...it should be true.

He hurriedly rode his horse to the prefect's mansion where Wang Feng lived. The conference hall was filled with five or six generals, and everyone was worried.

"Why is it so slow!" Wang Feng glared at Liu Xiu, but he did not get angry as before. He just scolded him and stopped taking advantage of the issue.

"Then, all the people are here." Wang Feng withdrew his gaze: "I'm afraid you all know that Xinmang mobilized another 400,000 troops from the north to drive towards Nanyang County. He will arrive at Kunyang City in three days. How should we deal with it? Can you have any good solutions?"

"Where did Wang Mang get so many troops?" A sideline general shook his head: "I think it's just a bluff. With the troops that Chang'an can mobilize now, it won't exceed 50,000, no matter how you think it is?"

"It's not Chang'an, it's Hebei!" Wang Feng looked gloomy: "Before, Wang Yi and Wang Xun had been leading 200,000 people to fight against the Red Eyebrow Army in Hebei. Now, Wang Mang has withdrawn all these troops from Hebei and transferred them to Nanyang."

"Is he crazy? He has given up the whole Hebei?" Another general hit the previous cases hard and shouted: "Nanyang is just a county, and Hebei is the two prefectures of Jizhou and Youzhou! For a small county, he handed over the two prefectures to the Red Eyebrow Army?!"

"Not only that..." Wang Feng's face became more and more gloomy: "The troops garrisoned in Bingzhou, Liangzhou were also withdrawn by Wang Mang. The 200,000 elite troops who were originally stationed in the Great Wall and resisted the Huns have now been mobilized to Nanyang."
