"Report~"

Outside Liu Ce's big tent, he shouted and the horse explored the horse came to report urgently. Generals at all levels who were sitting in the big tent waiting for the outcome of the border battle in the border town heard the shouts of the horse explored and looked out the tent.

"Say~"

Liu Ce, who was sitting in front of the main case of the big tent, did not raise his head and responded. He just looked at the Liyang map on the table, and took the charcoal stroke to draw out the marching route maps. There was no change in his face. He was as calm as he was.

The prosecutor bowed and said, "Reported to the military governor, Commander Zhang Zhaotong, Commander Zhang has taken down Liyang Border City, Hua Ni's 100,000 troops were defeated for thousands of miles. Commander Zhang killed 20,000 enemy troops (more than half of them killed each other and killed each other) and captured more than 40,000 enemy troops. Now he is commanding the battlefield to clean up. Commander Zhang's subordinates came to ask about the next command..."

As soon as the horse was spoken, the tent immediately started to whisper. The generals' faces were full of excitement. They captured the border of Liyang in half a day. It really boosted the ambition of the Far East Military Governor's Office...

But Wen Zhang Lie couldn't help but say loudly: "Zhi Ma, this Zhang Zhaotong is really capable. He deserves to be the same surname as me. Hey, he really has a skill. He defeated the 100,000 army with 10,000. Tsk tsk tsk, amazing, amazing..."

The other generals were also deeply concerned about Zhang Lie's words. The Liyang border was in his hands. It can be said that the biggest obstacle had been cleared. The Hua family rebels were completely in a passive state...

Only Liu Ce and Xu Wenjing had no expression on their faces, and they were not surprised by the victory. It seemed that everything was expected. After all, the border town was disrepair in disrepair and was already ruined and could not hold on. How could the Hua family's army that was pieced together was an opponent of the Far East Border Army?

"Go back and tell Zhang Zhaotong that he would be on standby in the border town, and the captured soldiers were well taken care of. Our army would immediately enter the border town..."

"Abide by the order!"

After listening to Liu Ce's words, he immediately bowed and turned back to Liyangbiancheng. After the horse explored the horse left, Liu Ce raised his head and glanced around the tent. Everyone in the tent immediately calmed down and waited for Liu Ce to speak.

Liu Ce said to Wei Ji, who was sitting straight, "Your Highness, Hua Ni has not yet established a stable foothold in Liyang, and he has suffered a great defeat today. I believe that the children of the gentry from all over Liyang will also come to the border town to seek asylum. Cheung Shi will leave these people to you. After all, your identity is more suitable to negotiate with them than this military governor..."

Wei Ji bowed and smiled casually when he heard this, "Look at what the military governor said. This is my duty. Don't worry, with such an elite army in charge, I can do this more steadily and ensure that I can do it steadily for you..."

"Well..." Liu Ce nodded, then looked at Chu Zijun: "Zijun, immediately dispatch the army to the border city, and take a little supply and attack Jinyang, and capture Jinyang within three days!"

Chu Zijun stood up and accepted the order: "As for the order!"

"Zhang Lie!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You lead your army to clear away the remaining forces of the Hua family around the border city, and make sure that the border city is foolproof!"

"I will obey the order!"

"Sun Cheng!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You lead your soldiers to attack Picheng, Liyang Granary, and persuade them to surrender. If the defenders do not follow, then attack directly and make sure to take it down as quickly as possible!"

"I will ensure that I will complete the instructions of the Governor!"

After giving the order, Liu Ce thought about it for a while and said to Jiao Luo: "Jiao Luo, lead half of the soldiers of the Guards and the baggage army to go to the border city to stand by..."

"Zo...what..."

Jiao Luo was about to take the order, but suddenly he was stunned and asked himself to walk with the auxiliary soldiers of the baggage. Wouldn't there be no one around the military supervisor? He was stunned for a moment and was at a loss.

"If you want to go, go, don't be stunned. Don't worry, the military governor will not be in trouble..." Seeing that Liu Ce's face changed, Xu Wenjing hurriedly said to Jiao Luo, "What's more, the situation in Liyang is chaotic. If Miss Jiang makes a mistake, wouldn't it be annoying to the military governor again? Really, go quickly..."

"I will obey the order!"

After hearing what Xu Wenjing said, Jiao Luo took the order and left.

Seeing Jiao Luo leave the tent, Liu Ce glanced around the generals in the tent and said, "Okay, let's prepare them all..."

"I'll leave at the end!"

The generals immediately left the tent to prepare for the border town, and soon only Liu Ce, Xu Wenjing and Wei Ji were left in the tent.

"Mr. Military Governor, you are so powerful. I estimate that it will take ten days and half a month to capture the border city. Before I could imagine that in half a day, the border city will be broken, and 100,000 rebels will be defeated in one battle. Looking at the entire Great Zhou, I dare to say that I can't find a second one..."

Wei Ji smiled and complimented while drinking water, and at the same time he also had a new understanding of Liu Ce's army...

Liu Ce said: "As expected, Hua made double strategic and tactical mistakes, he would be defeated so miserably.

Strategically, Hua Jin's time to be emperor was too short, and the people in Liyang were unstable, so it was impossible for the local gentry to return to their hearts so quickly. As long as there was a slight setback, those gentry who seemed to be dependent would immediately turn against each other.

In terms of tactics, there are many loopholes. When the troops are not fully equipped, relying on strong recruitment of young and strong troops to resist our army's invasion, they want to win by relying on the advantage of numbers. However, they do not know that untrained young and strong people will only become a huge burden in the direct troops. Once the war is setback, it will only cause the formally dressed troops to display their combat power.

More importantly, the morale of those direct troops is not high. The so-called loyalty is only based on material foundation. An army without faith will always be a second-rate army. How can we not defeat when we meet our military governor's office, our Jingwei camp?"

"I have been taught..." Wei Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Wenjing didn't know where to get the feather fan. She continued to close her eyes and shook it gently, but she was already thinking about a good way to break through Jinyang...

...

In the early morning of April 15th, the capital of Liyang, Jinyang, and the "Imperial Palace" transformed by the Governor's Office...

"I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death..."

Hua Jin, who fled from the border town overnight and returned to Jinyang, sat upright on the "dragon chaise" of the hall, still panting with lingering fear. The two "Niuyin Concubines" next to him were constantly comforting him and wiping the sweat on Hua Jin's face.

In the battle in the border town, Hua Jin lost two sons and even lost the 200,000 army as a supporter. There were less than 5,000 people following him back to Jinyang, and their morale was sluggish, they were covered in wounds, and they were exhausted...

At this moment, Hua Jin did not feel the sadness brought by the pain of losing his son, but only deep fear. When he closed his eyes, the rain of arrows outside the border town poured down like a rainstorm. His soldiers howled under the arrows, and they couldn't get rid of it like a nightmare.

"I didn't expect that Liu Ce's army was even more terrifying than the rumors. I, what should I do, what should I do..."

Hua Jin sat on the dragon throne in a slump, feeling confused and regretful about the future of himself and the Hua family. Why did he become the emperor? Why did he meet such a evil star as Liu Ce at this critical moment?

"Oh, I really regret it!"

Hua Jin sighed heavily, and the "Niu Concubine" beside him cried and cried bitterly when he saw this, and was also nervous about his fate...

"Report~"

At this moment, the voices of the "Imperial Guard" soldiers came from outside the hall.

Hua Jin shivered in his heart and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"

The soldier kneeling outside the hall said, "Report to the Emperor, the enemy, the enemy is less than thirty miles away from the capital..."

"What?!" Hua Jin was shocked when he heard this. "Is it possible that Liu Ce would drive me to death? A hundred miles apart, four towns and three cities could block them. How could the enemy arrive so quickly?"

The soldiers outside the hall said, "Report to the emperor, all counties along the way have opened cities to surrender. Now, only 4,000 soldiers are left to guard Yongguan..."

Hua Jin hurriedly said, "Hurry, immediately dispatch the city guards to help Yongguan quickly. Yongguan is the gateway to Jinyang. Yongguan cannot be missed no matter how much!"

"Report~"

At this moment, another soldier came to report.

Hua Jin hurriedly said: "Tell me~"

The soldier knelt on the ground and said sweating profusely: "The general of Yongguan guards cannot stand the enemy's agitating, so he took the initiative to go out of the city to provoke him, but died under the iron hoof of the enemy cavalry. All the soldiers guarding the pass have turned on and surrendered..."

"What? There are cavalry?!" Hua Jin felt a chill on his back and yelled suddenly, "Yongguan is lost! How can I defend my capital? Immediately mobilize troops from all over the country to serve the king and go quickly..."

"Report~"

Before Hua Jin could finish speaking, another urgent report came.

"What the hell is it!" Hua Jin said angrily.

A broken-clothed soldier rolled his Adam's apple a few times outside the door and said in horror: "Your Majesty, the enemy has captured Picheng, and all the defenders and officials of the counties along the way have surrendered, and the food channels have been cut off..."

When Hua Jin heard this, his eyes turned dark and he fainted. The two concubines were so scared that Hua Ying was disgraced and hurriedly shouted: "No, the emperor is sick, why don't you pass it on to the imperial physician..."
